2D polar/azimuthal angle maps

Below the complex spherical harmonics are represented on 2D plots with the azimuthal angle, ${\displaystyle \phi }$, on the horizontal axis and the polar angle, ${\displaystyle \theta }$, on the vertical axis. The saturation of the color at any point represents the magnitude of the spherical harmonic and the hue represents the phase.

The nodal 'line of latitude' are visible as horizontal white lines. The nodal 'line of longitude' are visible as vertical white lines.

Polar plots

Below the complex spherical harmonics are represented on polar plots. The magnitude of the spherical harmonic at particular polar and azimuthal angles is represented by the saturation of the color at that point and the phase is represented by the hue at that point.

Polar plots with magnitude as radius

Below the complex spherical harmonics are represented on polar plots. The magnitude of the spherical harmonic at particular polar and azimuthal angles is represented by the radius of the plot at that point and the phase is represented by the hue at that point.
