Radians , Degrees Mar 27th, 2010, 5:51am   I want to create a loop, that takes an angle at 0 and adds X degrees each time it redraws, until it reachces 360 degrees. It`s explained in the learning section of the site how to handle degrees and radians: theta = angle*pi/180 angle = theta*180/pi theta = radians(angle) angle = degrees(theta) but I still cant really see through it. Code: void rotate() { float cyrcleDegrees = degrees(TWO_PI); float angle = 0; for(int i=0;i<cyrcleDegrees;i++){ angle = angle + degrees(i*pi/18); println("AngleDegrees: " + angle+ " at rotation: " + i); } Please help
