# Polar Coordinate Wrap

> Horizontal image information wraps around a center while vertical position becomes radius, producing a continuous circular remapping.

## About this style

Polar coordinate wrap converts horizontal image position to angle and vertical position to radius. Familiar fragments surround a common center, with compression or stretching near the middle producing a continuous circular composition.

Polar wrapping converts position into angle and radius, producing distinctive center compression and seam behavior.

A long street joining into a ring can gain a new circular organization.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Circular projection changes figure placement and proportion, often tilting or stretching peripheral people.

- **Landscape**: Sky, buildings and ground wrap around a center into a ring or little-planet composition.

- **Object**: Contours rearrange around the center, bending straight edges and changing orientation.

**Subjects**: Choose panoramic cities, coasts, plazas or circular objects; continuous settings suit wrapping better than tightly framed faces.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Remap the rectangular image into polar coordinates: convert horizontal position into angle around one center and vertical position into radial distance. Form a continuous circular or annular image with stretched radial detail near the center and recognizable fragments following the outer circumference. Join the angular seam cleanly. Keep image-derived colors and structures. Do not substitute a tiny-planet landscape projection, mirror the image into kaleidoscope wedges, add spherical shading or create radial motion-blur rays.
