Converting Radians to Degrees and Degrees to Radians
Posted on 30th November, 1999
Often in actionscript 3 the drawing API will interchange requirements of angular measurements between radians and degrees.
1 Radian = 57.2958 Degrees
1 circle (360 Degrees) = 6.2832 Radians
3.1416 Radians = Half a circle (180 Degrees) = Pi (π);
To calculate between the two systems use the following formula:
Radians = Degrees * Math.PI /180
Degrees = Radians * 180 /Math.PI
