Summary
| Description |
English: 2D array visualizing all real spherical harmonics up to l=10. Spherical harmonics are visualized on polar plots. The magnitude of the spherical harmonic is represented by the saturation of the polar plot at a given polar and azimuthal angle and the phase of the spherical harmonic is represented by the hue at given polar and azimuthal angles. |

 | The factual accuracy of this graphic is disputed. The attribution of m=-1 and m=1 numbers to the real-valued spherical harmonics is incorrect. The depicted harmonics are rather superpositions of +m and -m. Correct naming is possible in terms of x, y and z. |
