Here is the ray-traced result:
Better result can be attained by using the cone tool. 
The controls in Modeler can flatten the cone
into a perfect circle.
Using the same texture mapping parameters as the previous example, here is the result with a flat cone:
If you want polar texture mapping on a circle, the flat cone obviously produces better results.
To make a flat cone in Modeler:
