Parameters of Polar Curves

With Polar Curves, you can display the intensity data in a plane containing the Oz axis, making a defined C-angle with the xOz plane (C-angle).

  • In Series group box, you can select Fill check boxes to fill colored curves.

    In case of asymmetric distribution around an axis, you can add a second series and give it the rotation’s angle of the plan that you want. You can also see the orthogonal section on your distribution by using the View Red/Yellow curve. You can select View check boxes to display red or yellow curves that are at +90°.

  • With the top slider, you can modify the C-angle value for the blue curve of the first series.

  • With the bottom slider, you can modify the C-angle value for the green curve of the second series.

  • In Scale group box, you can select the Graduations check box to display graduations.

    You can select the Auto scale check box to fit the display.

  • In Step box, you can type the graduation's sampling value in degrees.

  • From the Mode list, you must select a polar, cartesian or hybrid display.

  • From the Unit list, you must select the unit between Candela (cd) or Candela per kilo Lumens (cd/klm).

Note: You can select the Invert check box to create a top-bottom inversion of the display.
Note: You can select the Link sliders check box to link sliders.
Note: You can select Other distribution to change the distribution with Intensity, IES, Eulumdat, or TL files.
