Circular linegrid

This type of linegrid is similar to the rectangular one. There is one grid for coordinates and one for angles.

The Y direction can be defined by angles or by coordinates:

1. Angle – user sets the values for angles to the third column and sets the number or repetition.
2. Coors – user sets distances from one linegrid line to another.
