Wrapping Domain to test inclusion

Hi everyone,

I'm having a little problem of logic which I can't seem to solve. What I'm looking to do is have a domain/s to test angles against which wraps around the domain of 0-180.

So for example I could have a testing range of 30 degrees which could have a bounds of:

75-105

or 0-30

or 150-180

OR, and here's the tricky bit...

0-15 and 165-180

0-5 and 155-180

This image perhaps shows the problem more clearly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

James

I've seemingly solved my problem. Not sure if the solution could have been more elegant, if you have a better solution I'd love to see it :)

I think I understand what you are aiming for but if I'm wrong can you spell it out in words with only one syllable.

Thanks Danny,

That was exactly what I was after. Sorry if my wording wasn't clear. Your solution was much cleaner than mine.

Cheers,

I don't actually have time right now, but I'd solve this by creating an arc with the correct angle domain and then find the Closest Point to see if a value is on the arc or not.

wouldn't that only work if the domain wrapped from 360 to 0
