Description

Summary

It's a somewhat common case to specify angles in the inspector. However, radian angles as used throughout Duality are not easily readable by humans. There should be a specialized property editor for angles that allows to switch between radians and degrees and defaults to degrees.

Analysis

  • Note that issue #528 is a prerequisite to this.
  • The editor should feel like an "extended numeric editor", so nothing entirely new. Same float field, limits, dragdrop, etc.
  • There should be a unit label (deg / rad) with a button area of some sort for switching units.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine existing property editors in the Duality source code (e.g., FloatPropertyEditor) and implement a new AnglePropertyEditor that allows switching between radians and degrees. Ensure you address prerequisite issue #528 first.
