This is sheer genius:
System.Math.Sin( double a )
System.Math.Cos( double a )
...etc
all take an angle in radians as their argument. However:
System.Drawing.Drawing2D.Matrix.Rotate( float angle )
and System.Drawing.Drawing2D.Matrix.Rotate( float angle, MatrixOrder order )
both take the angle in degrees. Who on earth designed this?!??
...
Never mind, it's not that important. I'm just going to take a few deep breaths, get my blood pressure down, and go and make a nice, soothing cup of tea instead... and then I'm going to submit this to thedailywtf.com. For the rest of you, just watch out for this little gotcha: things like this are the reason multi-million dollar space probes go missing.
About Bart Read
I've had a few jobs since graduating, but for the last four years I've been settled at Red Gate Software in Cambridge, UK. Over that time I've worked on a wide range of products, both as a developer and as a project manager, including 18 months on SQL Prompt; right now I'm finishing up with ANTS Profiler 4, which we think is going to be amazing - hopefully you will too.
