Hi again @grantmcdermott! Really enjoying tinyplot!
I think this is a feature request (maybe I've missed an existing feature), but I've got no idea if it's hard to implement - so no worries if it's outside the scope. It would be great to be able to support polar coordinate systems, so it becomes possible to plot circular data.

Thanks, added to our master list of supported/request plot types here. I'm not sure about implementation difficulty and we'd also need to think about the interface, since the standard x and y arguments are probably confusing in the polar (radian + theta) context.

(Great to hear that you're liking the package!)

Sounds good! I actually wouldn't think it is that confusing. Once one ventures into circular plots, my gut feeling is that people have an expectation of what will happen. Just my guess though! :P In ggplot, it just transforms the x and y values, so I'd expect the same syntax.
