You need three points to determine the angle. Pin1 (P1) is the center. Pin2 (P2) in the original position. And Pin2 (P2') in the rotated position. There is 0.5degrees between P1-P2 and P1-P2'. 0 degrees only occurs if P2 == P2' (* jcl *) > > Just my EUR 0.02 > > Kind regards, > > Bert Timmerman. > > > > _______________________________________________ > geda-user mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user > -- http://www.luciani.org _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
