assets Protractors - Back to school

[v_kyr]

Let's go back to school, with some of those common and well known school protractors for measuring in degrees.

 

... etc.

 

The protractor assets shared here ...

... are all vector based and do have printed on degree scales. You have to adapt/size the default assets protractor sizes to your document needs and thus scale them up/down so they nearly match your doc measurements.

Note that all protractors are just a bunch of grouped/layered together vector parts (curves and text) thus they can be modified in colorings and the like. Also you should always move & size etc. a whole reused protractor group/layer when needed!

Here is the associated assets file:

• protractors.afassets

Have a nice school day!

Here's a quick Mini-HowTo for making a more trivial/simple protractor in ADe ...

• simple_protractor.afdesign

Of course we can also make the same for ADe reusage with some Python scripting, as an example with it's fun simple Turtle graphics. - So let's make it quickly instead with some Python Turtle drawings ...

from turtle import *

for theta in range(0,360,30):
    fd(100)
    write(str(theta)+'*')
    backward(100)
    left(30)
goto(0, -100)
circle(100)
goto(0, -10)
circle(10)
mainloop()

And if we want to have the whole instead as a SVG drawing for reusage in ADe ...

# Use the SvgTurtle package --> pip install svg_turtle
from svg_turtle import SvgTurtle

t = SvgTurtle(500, 500)
for theta in range(0,360,30):
    t.fd(100)
    t.write(str(theta)+'°')
    t.backward(100)
    t.left(30)
t.goto(0, -100)
t.circle(100)
t.goto(0, -10)
t.circle(10)
t.save_as('simple_protractor.svg')

... we can use the Python svg_turtle module instead to generate the whole and save it then as a reusable SVG file.

Thank you. This is going to be useful for building certain kinds of star maps!
