English: A unit circle with sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot), versine (versin), coversine (cvs), exsecant (exsec), excosecant (excsc) and (indirectly) also secant (sec), cosecant (csc) as well as chord (crd) and arc labeled as trigonometric functions of angle theta. It is designed as alternative construction to "Circle ...
English: All of the six trigonometric functions of an arbitrary angle θ can be defined geometrically in terms of a unit circle centred at the origin of a Cartesian coordinate plane.
The interior of the unit circle is called the open unit disk, while the interior of the unit circle combined with the unit circle itself is called the closed unit disk. One may also use other notions of "distance" to define other "unit circles", such as the Riemannian circle; see the article on mathematical norms for additional examples.
English: Some common angles (multiples of 30 and 45 degrees) and the corresponding sine and cosine values shown on the Unit circle. The angles (θ) are given in degrees and radians, together with the corresponding intersection point on the unit circle, (cos θ, sin θ).
Animation demonstrating how the sine function (in red) is graphed from the y-coordinate (red dot) of a point on the unit circle (in green), at an angle of θ. The cosine (in blue) is the x-coordinate. Using the unit circle definition has the advantage of drawing a graph of sine and cosine functions.
The free statistical package R (see R programming language) can make a wide variety of nice-looking graphics. It is especially effective to display statistical data. On Wikimedia Commons, the category Created with R contains many examples, often including the corresponding R source code. Other examples can be found in the R Graph Gallery.
