Is there a way to use plot phasors of voltages and currents (complex numbers in rectangular or polar form)? I would like to do this without creating custom functions, if possible.

What kind of phasor plot do you have in mind. Plotting just the point or a line segment from he origin is easy, if you need an arrow it would mean a litle bit more work and you would be better off with a custom function.

You have the (built-in, so no custom function is required) functions Re() and Im() that take the real and imaginary part of a complex number. You can plot those on a rectangular plot.

Then you also have the built-in functions arg() and | | to get phase and magnitude of a complex number that you can plot on a Polar plot.

Success!
