Nov 14, 2018 at 11:44 comment added Kuba I'm deleting previous comment as I don't have time for discussion and it was off topic anyway. Please explain clearly what do you want to achieve in Mathematica and where are you stuck.
Nov 14, 2018 at 11:40 comment added Gennaro Arguzzi @Kuba please tell me what is in my case $x^2$ anf $f$.
Nov 14, 2018 at 11:18 comment added Gennaro Arguzzi Hi @Kuba, by looking the plot I see that the right angle is $\pi+(\pi/4)$, that is almost 3.9 (check it by using Get Coordinates please). Is there a way to get the right angle through math formulas?
Nov 14, 2018 at 10:59 comment added Kuba t = -r/2 and r = -Pi/2 which means t = Pi / 2 /2 = Pi /4?
Nov 14, 2018 at 10:42 comment added Gennaro Arguzzi @Kuba Ok, your example is clear. I have the inverse problem: given $r=-1.57$, what is the angle (without knowing x and y)?
Nov 14, 2018 at 10:36 comment added Kuba If you have a point (1,1) cartesian, is it (sqrt(2), Pi/4) or (-sqrt(2), 3Pi/4)? My point is that information that you use negative radius is gone so you have to think about it yourself.
Nov 14, 2018 at 10:33 comment added Lotus I think the confusion here is what exactly does GetCoordinates give for PolarPlot
Nov 14, 2018 at 10:30 comment added Gennaro Arguzzi Hello @Kuba, can you explain your comment please? If the angle is unknown, how can I do the reflection? Maybe the angle is $\pi/4$?
Nov 14, 2018 at 10:27 comment added Kuba That is your problem, the point you measured has r = 1.57. If you want to get an angle for r = -1.57 you need to reflect that point through the origin.
