Conversion from SFML angles to radians [SOLVED]

[chessguy]

Greetings.

When designing things making use of angles - movement, for example - I generally use radians now, as the underlying mechanism, though I may specify initial angles in degrees, as I still find them easier to picture (for example, 1 degree is much more clear to me than the radian equivalent). This works well as the trig functions generally takes radians.

SFML, however, does not.

Due to this, I was trying to convert to and from these different units.

In detail. Radians starting on the positive x axis, counted counterclockwise. SFML degrees, it seems, start on the positive y axis, and are counted clockwise.

I imagine this may be of use to future searches for the same thing.

I seem to have inconsistent success with the functions.

What math would be required for each?

SFML degrees, it seems, start on the positive y axis, and are counted clockwise.

No, the degrees are counted naturally, 0° corresponds to "right" (+X). There may be confusion because the Y axis points downwards, unlike in mathematical coordinate systems. But this only related to rendering, not angle computations themselves.

I imagine this may be of use to future searches for the same thing.

Have you also imagined that there may be past discussions about degrees and radians?
There were quite a lot of them, actually.

What math would be required for each?

What do you mean?

Ah. It seems (I was using a pointed sprite) I mistook an edge of the sprite to be the angle rotation, but it starts upwards.

I made this after finding all of them google made available to me. Some were talks about API changes, but I recall at least two talking about the conversion. Though given the mistake I just realized, it is likely I adapted it wrong.

Conversion functions, basically.

Please explain your problem in a meaningful way. Converting between radians and degrees is a trivial task that can be found within seconds on the Internet, so I assume you mean something else... but what?

It had been for SFML, but it had one less step than I had thought. It seems it is simply the radian-degree calculation (respective of which direction) along with a negation.

As far as I can tell, it is fixed and working as expected.
