Circle calculation
Author
Hi iam not that good in math, doing my best to get better.
so i got a question about a circle and a graphic x,y.
if i got a point on 5,0(x,y) and i would like to get 20 degrees up/left how could i calculate the new point?
hope iam clear and it doesn't sound like rubisch :)
what is new point? Should it be placed on circle? On what circle exactly?
What is 20 degrees up left?
Or you want to turn your point conterclockwise by 20 degrees?
In second case, rotation is given by
5*cos(20)-0*sin(20)
5*sin(20)+0*cos(20)
of course 0*something=0
edit: and rotation is around origin.

thank you so far for the information.
i ment radius of 5, center is on 0,0. and move 20 degrees then both directions are actually fine.
am i giving enough information or am i missing something?
Edit:
what i got now is.
po = 0,5
radius is 5
moving on the (x,y) 45 degrees is.
5 * cos(45) = x
5 * sin(45) = y
then i have the new x,y position.

It's usually called turning around zero. Yes, your formule is right, and will be right for 20 degrees too.
edit: if your actual *code* is like that, it will not work. In most programming languages, sin & cos take angle in radians. You need to use
sin(angle*(pi/180.0))
and
cos(angle*(pi/180.0))
