maestro Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) *************************SOLVED...Kinda*********************************************************************************************************** Hi, I'm making a compass sort of thing but when I run it i get these results, can any one help me figure out how to convert it to standard degrees. Here's a representation of what I'm getting. 0 45 -45 90 X -90 -45 45 -0 And I was hoping there might be a way to change the values to a standard 360/0-90-180-270-360/0. I would be SOOOOO grateful for anyone that could help on this matter. Edited July 28, 2010 by maestro Hello, World!... LAME lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOSoft Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Maybe you could give us a bit of a head start by posting some of the code you tried. Also, your representation shows 45 degrees so do you want 45 degree increments or 90 degree increments. You can easily do it in a loop stepping backwards from 360 by the increment. 0/360 270 180 90 or forwards doing the same thing. And that's it for me for a few days.

maestro Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Here's the math that it does to get the angle. $Pxa= $Px2 - $Px $Pya= $Py2 - $Py $in = $Pxa / $Pya $pi = 4 * ATan(1) $Dir = ATan($in)*180/$pi But I Worked out a makeshift solution, its not the greatest but it works. Thanks anyways. Hello, World!... LAME lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maestro Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Finished bug testing the fix, if anyone is having same problem, feel free to copy and edit my solution. expandcollapse popup$N = 0 $E = 0 $S = 0 $W = 0 If $Py < $Py2 Then ;True = North $N += 1 EndIf If $Px > $Px2 Then ;True = East $E += 1 EndIf If $Py > $Py2 Then ;True = South $S += 1 EndIf If $Px < $Px2 Then ;True = West $W += 1 EndIf If $Dir < 0 Then $Dir = $Dir * (-1) EndIf If $N = 1 Then If $E = 1 Then MsgBox (0,"N'E'",$Dir) $N = 0 $E = 0 ElseIf $W = 1 Then $Dir = $Dir - 90 $Dir = $Dir * (-1) $Dir = $Dir + 270 MsgBox (0,"N'W'",$Dir) $N = 0 $W = 0 EndIf If ($N + $E + $W) = 1 Then MsgBox (0,"N'",$Dir) $N = 0 EndIf ElseIf $S = 1 Then If $E = 1 Then $Dir = $Dir - 90 $Dir = $Dir - 90 $Dir = $Dir * (-1) MsgBox (0,"S'E'",$Dir) $E = 0 $S = 0 ElseIf $W = 1 Then $Dir = $Dir + 180 MsgBox (0,"S'W'",$Dir) $S = 0 $W = 0 EndIf If ($S + $E + $W) = 1 Then $Dir = 180 MsgBox (0,"S'",$Dir) $S = 0 EndIf EndIf If $E = 1 Then $Dir = 90 MsgBox (0,"E'",$Dir) EndIf If $W = 1 Then $Dir = 270 MsgBox (0,"W'",$Dir) EndIf ;Resetting values to undetermend. $N = 0 $E = 0 $S = 0 $W = 0 If you are going to use this you will have to change the variable names, but don't touch the $N,$E,$S,$W. You will need to points of data for it to work, a initial position, and an offset position. Edited July 28, 2010 by maestro Hello, World!...
