Radians to Degrees Scalar
Radians to Degrees Scalar


Overview

The Radians to Degrees Scalar node converts a scalar value from radians to degrees. The math to convert radians to degrees is:

Radians * 180 / π

Pi ( π) is used in trigonometry as a constant to represent a half-rotation around a circle in radians, and has a value of approximately 3.14159.

This node has no other settings apart from the Input node.

Settings:

  • Name: This setting allows you to apply a descriptive name to the node, which can be helpful when using multiple Radians to degrees scalar nodes in a project.
  • Enable: When checked, the node is active and the conversion operation will take place. When unchecked the values assigned to its Main Input, if any, are passed through, otherwise a value of 0 is passed through.
