Polar mode

When in polar mode (set polar), the xrange and the yrange may be left in autoscale mode. If set rrange is used to limit the extent of the polar axis, then xrange and yrange will adjust to match this automatically. However, explicit xrange and yrange commands can later be used to make further adjustments. See set rrange (p. [*]). The trange may also be autoscaled. Note that if the trange is contained within one quadrant, autoscaling will produce a polar plot of only that single quadrant.

Explicitly setting one or two ranges but not others may lead to unexpected results. See also
