xy_to_polar

Convert data coordinates to polar coordinates

It visualizes data along an Archimedean spiral <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_spiral>, makes so-called spiral graph or spiral chart.
It has two major advantages for visualization: 1. It is able to visualize data with very long axis with high
resolution. 2. It is efficient for time series data to reveal periodic patterns.
