Curve defined in polar coordinates : plotpolar polarplot DrawPol courbe_polaire

Let Et be an expression depending of the variable t.
plotpolar(Et,t) draws the polar representation of the curve defined by $ \rho$ = Et for $ \theta$ = t, that is in cartesian coordinates the curve (Etcos(t), Etsin(t)). The range of the parameter may be specified by replacing the second argument by t=tmin..tmax. The discretisation parameter may be specified by an optional tstep=... argument.
Input
plotpolar(t,t)
Output :
The spiral $ \rho$=t is plotted
Input
plotpolar(t,t,tstep=1)
or :
plotpolar(t,t=0..10,tstep=1)
Output :
A polygon line approaching the spiral $ \rho$=t is plotted
