Polar coordinate paper has concentric circles divided into small arcs or 'pie wedges' to allow plotting in polar coordinates.it can be used for a normal probability plot. It is designed so that "the graph of the normal distribution function is represented on it by a straight line", i.e.
Normal probability paper is another graph paper with rectangles of variable widths.Logarithmic paper has rectangles drawn in varying widths corresponding to logarithmic scales for semi-log plots or log-log plots.It can be used to draw angles accurately. Among other functions, they can be used in the design of trianglepoint embroidery. The name suggests the use for isometric views or pseudo-three-dimensional views. The triangles are arranged in groups of six to make hexagons. Isometric graph paper or 3D graph paper is a triangular graph paper which uses a series of three guidelines forming a 60° grid of small triangles.These can be used to map geometric tiled or tesselated designs among other uses.
Tracey used the phrase "coordinate paper". Stevens had a chapter on graphing with "squared paper". The term "graph paper" did not catch on quickly in American usage. Experience shows that anything on a smaller scale (such as 'millimeter' paper) is practically worthless in the hands of beginners." Knight included a strong statement that "the squared paper should be of good quality and accurately ruled to inches and tenths of an inch. The 1906 edition of Algebra for Beginners by H. Moore, a distinguished mathematician at the University of Chicago, advocated usage of paper with "squared lines" by students of high schools and universities. Buxton of England, who patented paper, printed with a rectangular coordinate grid, in 1794. The first commercially published "coordinate paper" is usually attributed to a Dr. The owner has used these grids to create block pictures in black and white and in colour. The Metropolitan Museum of Art owns a pattern book dated to around 1596 in which each page bears a grid printed with a woodblock.
