Not a question, but a Tip.
Sometimes there is a need to convert angles measured in Arithmetic convention (counter-clockwise from the X-Axis) to Geographic convention (clockwise from North/Y-Axis).
For example, Transformers like TopologyBuilder output Edge angles in Arithmetic degree angles whereas Desktop GIS systems like ArcGIS can sometimes default to Geographic degree angles.
Instead of using complicated Conditional Value formulae to translate angles quadrant by quadrant with different formulae, searching the internet came up with a genius single formulae that converts angles back and forth, no matter what quadrant the calculated angle is in.
Geographic Angle = (450 - Arithmetic Angle) mod 360
Rewriting the formula into FME Maths function format it becomes this
Geographic Angle = @fmod((450 - @Value(Arithmetic Angle)),360)
It also works in reverse:
Arithmetic Angle = @fmod((450 - @Value(Geographic Angle)),360)
