2.21 polar

Polar plots are not really a separate plot style but are listed here for completeness. The option `set polar` tells gnuplot to interpret input 2D coordinates as <angle>,<radius> rather than <x>,<y>. Many, but not all, 2D plotting styles work in polar mode. The figure shows a combination of plot styles `lines` and filledcurves. See `set polar`, rrange, `set size square`.
