map degrees to 0 - 360 in python

Question

is it possible to map a value of rotation to be inside the range of 0-360 degrees?

For example:

• a angle of -10° should be 350°
• a angle of 760° should be 40° degrees?

Is there an easy solution? Maybe in mathutils?

best, chris

Answer 1

You can use the modulo operator % for this:

>>> print -10 % 360
350
>>> print 760 % 360
40
