These polar coordinates are in the form (r,theta), where r is the
amplitude and theta is the angle in a 2%2Api radian circle.
theta+=+-2%2Api%2F3
Note that -pi%2F3 would be -60 in degrees
-2%2Api%2F3 is -120 in degrees. That would put it in the 3rd quadrant,
making a 60 degree angle with the horizontal axis.
