I'm looking for a function to plot things in 3D using cylindrical coordinates but apparently Mathematica doesn't have one?

Mathematica: Cylindrical Plot is a tool in the Mathematica software that allows users to create 3D plots of cylindrical functions and surfaces.
To use Mathematica: Cylindrical Plot, you need to first define the function or surface you want to plot using cylindrical coordinates. Then, use the CylindricalPlot3D function and input the function and desired ranges of the cylindrical coordinates.
Cylindrical plots use cylindrical coordinates, which are defined in terms of a radius, angle, and height. Rectangular plots use Cartesian coordinates, which are defined in terms of x, y, and z coordinates. Cylindrical plots are useful for visualizing functions and surfaces that have rotational symmetry, while rectangular plots are better for visualizing general functions and surfaces.
Yes, you can add labels and customize the appearance of your cylindrical plot using various options in the CylindricalPlot3D function. You can add labels for the axes, title, and legends, as well as change the colors, styles, and thickness of the plot.
Yes, Mathematica: Cylindrical Plot can handle complex functions. You can input complex-valued functions into the CylindricalPlot3D function and it will plot the real part, imaginary part, or magnitude of the function.
