## Plot a function in polar coordinates.  The function @var{f} is either
## a string, inline function or function handle with one arguments defining
## the function.  By default the plot is over the domain @code{0 < @var{x} <
## 2*pi} with 60 points.
##
## If @var{dom} is a two element vector, it represents the minimum and maximum
## value of both @var{t}.  @var{n} is a scalar defining the number of points to
## use.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} is a graphics handle to the created plot.
##
## @example
## ezpolar (@@(t) 1 + sin (t));
