The rationale for this code can be found on Wikibooks, here. Note the it is slightly modified to allow for antialising.

This uses Chris Hill's antialiasing code to average pixels and produce a less jagged image. The original code can be found here.

dtheta = Pi/20;                                     (*Give a radial gridline \
spacing of Pi/20 radians*)

maximum radius*)
dr = rmax/10;                                        (*Give 10 \
circumferential grid lines*)
f[r_, theta_] := r  Sin[theta]; (*This is the function definition*)
