options
(optional) plot options; see plot/options
Description
A parametric plot is specified by a list of three items; the first two are real functions of a parameter, the third is the range for the parameter.
When used in conjunction with the option coords=polar, parametric plots produces polar plots.
Several parametric plots can be plotted on the same graph, by providing a set or a list of parametric plots as the first argument. For more information, see plot.
Examples
The command to create the plot from the Plotting Guide is
