Description

Converts a radian measurement to its corresponding value in degrees. Radians and degrees are two ways of measuring the same thing. There are 360 degrees in a circle and 2*PI radians in a circle. For example, 90° = PI/2 = 1.5707964. All trigonometric functions in Processing require their parameters to be specified in radians.

Examples

  • float rad = PI/4;
float deg = degrees(rad);
println(rad + " radians is " + deg + " degrees");

Syntax

  • degrees(radians)

Parameters

  • radians(float)radian value to convert to degrees

Return

  • float
