It looks good.
When it comes to trig functions, personally I’ve found it helpful to introduce
an “Angle<T>” type to my own projects, rather than documenting “this angle
expects radians” and having users do the conversion.
public enum Angle<T: FloatingPoint> {
case degrees(T)
case radians(T)
public var degrees: T {
switch self {
case .degrees(let degs): return degs
case .radians(let rads): return (rads / .pi) * 180
}
}
public var radians: T {
switch self {
case .degrees(let degs): return (degs / 180) * .pi
case .radians(let rads): return rads
}
}
}
Allows usage such as:
func rotate(by angle: Angle<CGFloat>) {
let rads = angle.radians
...
}
rotate(by: .degrees(90))
rotate(by: .radians(.pi/2))
