- Compass bearings increase in a clockwise direction.
Note that various places which display relative rotation angles (such as when rotating an object in Selector) cannot use it, because for relative rotations (1) we do need negative angles and (2) the origin point is irrelevant. So this option should only apply to places that display an absolute angle of something.
I don't know; it seems to me that a relative clockwise rotation ought to be displayed as positive (the opposite is currently the
[ case). Alternately, instead of showing angles as positive or negative, say "clockwise" or "anticlockwise". ]
Also, why make it a pref? Nearly all end users are going to be thinking in terms of angles in the "compass" sense.
I would like to minimize frivolous prefs because otherwise it just means more code that never gets tested.
