Spherical Plot

A plot of a function expressed in spherical coordinates, with radius r as a function of angles theta and phi. Polar plots can be drawn using SphericalPlot3D [r, {phi, phimin, phimax}, {theta, thetamin, thetamax}]. The plots above are spherical plots of the equations r=R[sin(theta+iphi)] and r=I[sin(theta+iphi)], where R[z] denotes the real part and I[z] the imaginary part. The spherical plot of a constant c is a sphere of radius c.
