Functions and commands

polar_point

Returns the point with polar coordinates r and t.

polar_point(Real(r),Real(t))

pole

Returns the point for which the line is polar with respect to the

circle.

pole(Crcle,Line)

POLYCOEF

Returns the coefficients of a polynomial with roots given in the

vector argument.

polyCoef(Vect)

Example:

POLYCOEF({-1, 1})

returns

{1, 0, -1}

POLYEVAL

Evaluates a polynomial given by its coefficients at x0.

polyEval(Vect,Real(x0))

Example:

POLYEVAL({1,0,-1},3)

returns

8

polygon

Draws the polygon whose vertices are elements in a list.

polygon(LstPnt||LstCplx)

Example:

polygon(GA,GB,GD) draws ΔABD

polygonplot

Draws the polygons made by joining the points (xk,yk), where

xk=element row k column 0 and yk=element row k column j

(for j fixed and for k=0...nrows).

polygonplot(Mtrx)

polygonscatterplot

Draws the points (xk,yk) and the polygons made by joining

the points (xk,yk), where xk=element row k column 0 and

yk=element row k column j (for j fixed and for k=0...nrows).

polygonscatterplot(Mtrx)

polyhedron

Draws a convex polyhedron whose vertices are the points in

the sequence.

polyhedron(SeqPnt(A,B,C...))
