Hi all,

Thanks for the fine suggestions as to how to rotate my Plot.  Allan Hayes
offered the best solution, by converting my Plot to a ParametricPlot.  Here
is my original Plot, and Hayes' ParametricPlot:

1.  Originally:
n=11;
Plot[Evaluate[Table[
{{rad=N[2*(1/Degree)*ArcSin[Sin[i*Pi/n]/Sec[Degree j]]]},{circ=180-rad}},
{i,Floor[n/2]}]], {j,0,90},
Frame->True,
AspectRatio->Automatic,
PlotPoints->30,
PlotStyle->{{AbsoluteThickness[2]},{AbsoluteThickness[1]}}]

2.  Hayes' ParametricPlot:
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,0,180,10}], Table[k,{k,0,90,5}], None, None},
AspectRatio->Automatic,
PlotPoints->30,
PlotStyle->{{AbsoluteThickness[2]},{AbsoluteThickness[1]}}
]
