Add polar plot as an option to GraphBuilder.
many other plotting tools have such an option:
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_plots/plotting-in-polar-coordinates.html
https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/PolarPlot.html
To keep the GraphBuilder Interface as it is, one could "hide" the polar plot mode under Scale Type - similar to Geodesic, where an even more complicated projection is used to convert the coordinates to x/y values.
The idea:
The user selects R and Phi values for the X and Y axis and selects polar plot in one of the Scale Type menus (the other Scale Type is changed automaticaly).
As a result, the values are converted to x/y coordinates and a polar grid is used.
Alternative - if this is not possible:
The user directly loads x/y coordinates and selecting polar plot from the Scale Type menu.
This changes the grid to r/phi.
Difficulty: how to define the major/minor grid steps?
