Description

Converts an angle (in degrees, assuming 0 degrees is straight up, and clockwise is an increase in angle, and positive X is right) to an X location point.

Demo Code


//package com.java2s;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
        int angle = 2;
        System.out.println(toX(angle));
    }/*from   w  ww .j  a v a  2  s.c  om*/

    /**

     * clockwise is an increase in angle, and positive X is right) to an X
     * location point. If this were used in conjunction with toY to generate
     * points for all angles from 0 to 360, the resulting shape would be a

     *

    public static double toX(int angle) {
        return Math.sin(Math.toRadians(angle));
