PPOS
Syntax PPOS 
 
Explanation Polar coordinates describe positions on the plane in terms of the distance from the turtle's home in the center of the Graphics window and the angle from 0 degrees. Polar coordinates measure degrees counter-clockwise from a 0 degree heading equivalent to 3 o'clock.

PPOS reports the turtle's polar position, a list of two numbers: the distance from home and the polar angle. Set the polar position using SETP.
