Calculation Info

The Point To Radian (To Rad) Converter is a simple and useful tool designed to help you convert angles measured in points into radians. This is especially helpful in fields like graphics, design, and mathematics where different units are used to measure angles.

In this context, a “point” is a unit of measurement commonly used in typography and digital graphics. One point (pt) is equal to 1/72 of an inch, but for angle measurement, points are sometimes used as a way to specify small angles or rotations.

The radian (rad) is the standard unit of angular measurement in mathematics. One radian is the angle created when the arc length on a circle is equal to the radius of that circle. There are approximately 6.2832 radians in a full circle (360 degrees).

The conversion formula from points to radians depends on the specific context, but generally, if you are converting an angle measured in points to radians, you can use the following formula:
Radians = (Points × ?) / (180 × 72)

This formula works because it relates points to degrees and then converts degrees to radians, considering that 1 degree equals ?/180 radians. Remember, this conversion assumes a specific interpretation of points as a measure of angle, so always verify the context in which you’re using points.
