Embed polar graph into a panel?

Share icon

The embedding of regular graphs into a panel works very well, but I'd like to do the same thing for polar graphs....
so I create the panel:
NewPanel/W=(100,10,1070,300)/K=1/N=Panel0
then the subwindow:
Display/HOST=Panel0/K=1/W=(0.01,0.1,0.49,0.9)/N=polargraph

But I don't manage to use WMNewPolarGraph and/or WMPolarAppendTrace correctly... (WMNewPolarGraph("", "polargraph") leads to a new window called "polargraph", whereas WMPolarAppendTrace("polargraph",ypolar, xpolar,360) doesn't do anything)

Is it first possible to embed polar graphs as subwindows?
If yes, I'm probably missing something... :)
If no, what would be a nice replacement method? something like plot the polar graphs in separate window, create a layout, and embed the layout in a panel?

Thanks for your help/ideas!

No, but it is possible to add panels to the edges of a polar graph. Maybe that'll be enough?

I don't really know what you mean by enough, but, thanks! Too bad it's not possible (yet? :) ) I guess this will fall into the suggestion box for future development.

Oh, it *is* possible. Take a look at Igor's Filter... Design IIR Filter..Create Filter using Poles and Zeros "dialog".

It is just a polar graph with multiple panels around it.
