return polar vector coordinates or a tensor polar decomposition.

Syntax

theta, rho, radius = polar(v)

Description

For an MTEX object, polar(x, …) calls x.polar(…). Additional positional and keyword arguments are passed to that method unchanged. Its documentation specifies the accepted inputs, units, symmetry handling and optional outputs. Consult the corresponding method for the behaviour of a particular object type.

Signature

polar(x, *args, **kwargs)

Methods it calls

S2Grid	the polar angles of the grid points, exact from the rings
tensor	factor a rank-two tensor into an orthogonal part and symmetric stretch tensors
vector3d	return polar angle, azimuth and length for every vector
velocityGradientTensor	factor a rank-two tensor into an orthogonal part and symmetric stretch tensors
