Polar Plot Line Art with variable angle steps

This worksheet can do normal polar plots with smooth curves. But the main purpose is to explore the effects of large steps in the angle theta. The plots at first appear degraded with sharp corners, but after continuing for many revolutions you can get line art with intricate symmetry.
