radians
In JavaScript, methods like Math.sin
, Math.atan2
, and CanvasRenderingContext2D.arc
use radians instead of degrees. It may be helpful to have functions to convert between the two to reduce instances of Math.PI / 180
in your code, as they may appear misleading.
The API for this module is based off of Elm's built-in angle conversion functions.
