How do you find the centre of the monitor and does it come with a 3M adhesive pad

I don't have a need for that, since I (re)use instead ...

... and I also have my own build on top floating protractor apps for measurements on screen if needed.

The crux of the issue lies in the fundamental disconnect between the mathematical world and the experiential world. Mathematics, in its purest form, is a language of precision, a tool for expressing the exactitudes of the universe. It is a realm where a circle is divided into 2 radians, equivalent to 360 degrees. This division is not arbitrary but is based on the properties of a circle …

The term π is crucially missing here. An angle of 2 radians is less than 115°, because 360° is 2π radians.

Mmm...π ...

And thanks for pointing out the mistake, it was bugging me. I hate radians mostly because I don't quite understand them.

Jip, because the radian measure is derived from the arc length of the full circle. A circle whose radius is 1 (unit circle) has a circumference, i.e. an arc length, of 2π. An arc length of 2π corresponds to an angle of 360°. Other angles then lead proportionally to other arc lengths:

If ω is the angle in degrees (°) and Ω is the angle in radians (rad). Conversely, any angle given in radians can of course be converted back into degrees:

Yes, for some reason I didn't include π, but then again, I wasn't writing a thesis to be judged and dissected here, so we're leading the readers into yet another AFFINITY forum sidetrack, but it was a description of how alien this mathematical approach will be for many GRAPHIC DESIGNERS.

Remember: complexity breeds complexity, complexity stifles usability, the more complexity, the less usability, the more chatter, the less focus and progress.
