I am trying to plot several polar graphs in a tikzpicture
.
The idea is to plot the same function but for different parameters.
An idea of what I am trying to achieve can be seen below
Although I am able to draw all these individual functions in one single polar plot, I don't know how to draw each if them separately in a common canvas.
So, at the moment I am able to produce the following
using the code seen below
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepgfplotslibrary{polar}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{polaraxis}
\foreach \atwo in {0, 0.4, ..., 2.4}
\foreach \afour in {-0.6, -0.4, ...,1.8}
\addplot+[mark=none,domain=0:720,samples=200]
{1 + \atwo*(3*cos(x)^2-1)/2 - \afour*(35*cos(x)^4-30*cos(x)^2+3)/8};
\end{polaraxis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
The goal is therefore to draw a set of axes (a2 , a4
) and in each node the corresponding polar plot without the polar axes.
Any idea on how to achieve this?
