Inversion of a polar grid:
The interactive simulation that created this movie.
Interactive simulation of 1/z of a polar grid.
This is very similar to inversion, which would be 1/Conjugate(z).
///////
Devil-inversion-xy.anim (or, rather, Devil transformed by 1/z):
The interactive simulation that created this movie.
Drag the devil to study the dynamics of the transformation. Note the difference from the video clip. The interactive simulation is a true inversion.
Compare: Interactive inversion of the same Devil in the unit circle.
