Sometimes there is the need to plot some events which have a periodic trend.
Let's consider a seasonal phenomenon; a typical plot may not fully highlight the regularity of the periodic behavior:
The mathematical model behind the JMP-rope, as for any rotating POV system, is the polar coordinate system.
