Re: How to show PolarPlot with circles coordinate

I've learned that the Degree symbol somehow gets mangled when posting to
MathGroup, although it looks like a Degree sign when first posted, and
although I'm copying the Mathematica statements in InputForm. So here  are
the previous statements again using an explicit 'Degree'.

Needs["Presentations`Master`"]

f[\[Theta]_] :=
 5 + 2 Sin[\[Theta]] + Sin[2 \[Theta] + \[Pi]] +
  Sin[5 \[Theta] + \[Pi]/4]

Draw2D[
{DrawPolarGrid[{ComplexPolar[0, 0],   ComplexPolar[10, 360 Degree],
    ComplexPolar[5, 45 Degree], {5, 5}}],
  Red,
  PolarDraw[f[\[Theta]], {\[Theta], 0, 2 \[Pi]}]},
 PlotRangePadding -> 1,
 PlotLabel -> f[\[Theta]],
 ImageSize -> 300]


Here is 45 'degree symbol clicked from the BasicMath palette', copied in
InputForm and pasted in the message.

45 =B0

It looks ok when I paste it but I think it will get changed to '45 =B0'= by
the time it appears.
