10.8.  Polar Coords

10.8.1.  Overview

This filter is found in Filters->Distorts->Polar Coords.

It gives a circular or a rectangular representation of your image with all the possible intermediates between both.

10.8.2.  Options

Preview

The result of your settings will appear in the Preview without affecting the image until you click on OK.

Circle Depth in Percent

Slider and input box allow you to set the "circularity" of the transformation, from rectangle (0%) to circle (100%).

Offset Angle

This option controlles the angle the drawing will start from (0 - 359°), and so turns it around the circle center.

Map Backwards

When this option is checked, the drawing will start from the right instead of the left.

Map from Top

If unchecked, the mapping will put the bottom row in the middle and the top row on the outside. If checked, it will be the opposite.

To Polar

If unchecked, the image will be circularly mapped into a rectangle (odd effect). If checked, the image will be mapped into a circle.
