Name  

degrees()

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

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 methods in Processing require their parameters to be specified in radians.
   
Syntax   
degrees(angle)
   
Parameters
