I admit I had a big struggle with visualizing polarizers. It is easy to do in 3D or some 2.5D. In 2D every visualization was confusing (the one we use is the least confusing).
Any ideas are welcome here (as long they work for every possible orientation and are 2D).
I wonder if some polarization arrow can be drawn somehow, like: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTAlDUU...
