Yeek!  With my customary attention to detail and the fullness of my
unbridled wisdom, I left out a critical part (the integer >=3, "n") of
Allan Hayes' solution to my problem of how to rotate a certain plot.  Here
is the code as it should have read:

n=11;
ParametricPlot[
Evaluate[Flatten[Table[
{{rad=N[2*(1/Degree)*ArcSin[Sin[i*Pi/n]/Sec[Degree*j]]],j},
{circ=180-rad,j}},
{i,Floor[n/2]}],1]], {j,0,90},
Frame->True,
FrameTicks->
   {Table[k,{k,0,180,20}], Table[k,{k,0,90,10}], None, None},
AspectRatio->Automatic,
PlotPoints->30,
PlotStyle->{{AbsoluteThickness[2]},{AbsoluteThickness[1]}}
]
