<br>The nice thing about allowing the programmer to specify the units is that other units can be added besides degrees, '''grads''' (and it variant spellings) and '''mils'''. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 22:18, 23 June 2012 (UTC) |

<br>A '''grad''' is 16 '''mils'''. |
|||
<br>A '''grad''' is about 1/51.5 '''radians'''. |
|||
<br>A '''grad''' is 9/10 of a '''degree'''. |
|||
<br>A '''degree''' is 9/10 of a '''mil'''. |
