I want to beable to make arcs in degrees, its in radians by default, and apparently I can change it, but it doesnt say how. How do I go about swapping?

That would be old documentation that we need to fix. Use the functions radians() and degrees() to convert. For instance: Code: // Get the sine of 90 degrees float s = sin(radians(90));
