Radians or degrees?

#1

Should our rotation methods accept values in radians or in degrees? For what it’s worth, the new DOMMatrix class coming to browsers will use degrees.

#2

Both?

I’d say degrees as default in that case because they’re somewhat more beginner friendly.

Maybe we can use degrees by default, and let people do something like

node.rotateY(Math.PI/8, true) // true means radians

I’ll do that in my prototype, which is coming along by the way! :smiley: I have some things rendering, but no demos online yet. It’s not using workers though, as I put that aside to just get the basic top-level API concepts down. Then I’ll work back around again but with workers. Also, just DOM, no WebGL yet.

A second argument serving as a flag (with a default value) is pretty much what I had in mind as well.

Glad to hear your prototype is coming along!
