>	polarplot(3-2*sin(theta),theta=0..2*Pi,thickness=3);

>	polarplot(3*cos(2*theta),theta=0..2*Pi,thickness=3);

>	polarplot(5*sin(3*theta),theta=0..Pi,thickness=3);

>	polarplot(4*sin(theta),theta=0..Pi,thickness=3);

You can graph theta as a function of r using a parameterized polar plot as shown below.   In this case theta = r so the parameterization is  r = r and theta = r.

>	polarplot([r,r,r=0..6*Pi],thickness=3);

In the example below theta = sin(3r).

>	polarplot([r,sin(3*r),r=0..2*Pi],thickness=3);
