Questions tagged [angle]

A shape, formed by two lines or rays diverging from a common point (the vertex).

Angle is also used to designate the measure of an angle or of a rotation. This measure is the ratio of the length of a circular arc by its radius. In the case of an angle (figure), the arc is centered at the vertex and delimited by the sides. In the case of a rotation, the arc is centered at the center of the rotation and delimited by any point and its image by the rotation.

Getting angle back from a sin/cos conversion

I want to reverse a sin/cos operation to get back an angle, but I can't figure out what I should be doing. I have used sin and cos on an angle in radians to get the x/y vector as such: double angle = 90.0 * M_PI / 180.0; // 90 deg. to rad. double…

Calculating X Y movement based on rotation angle?

Say I have an object in 2D space that can rotate and then should move according to its rotation angle. For example: If angle is 0(pointing upwards), then on_timer it should move 1 by Y and 0 by X. If angle is 45, then it should move 1 by Y and 1…

What's a quaternion rotation?

Is quaternion rotation just a vector with X,Y,Z which the object will rotate towards, and a roll which turns the object on its axis? Is it that simple? Meaning if you have X=0, Z=0 and Y=1 the object will face upwards? And if you have Y=0, Z=0 and…

Fastest way to sort vectors by angle without actually computing that angle

Many algorithms (e.g. Graham scan) require points or vectors to be sorted by their angle (perhaps as seen from some other point, i.e. using difference vectors). This order is inherently cyclic, and where this cycle is broken to compute linear values…
