However, there is an argument, which I think I've heard Dean make in the past, that 0° should point along the positive X axis (right) and 90° should point along the positive Y axis (down). It's a little confusing at first, but it does all fit together sensibly that way. (I'm ok with the 0° pointing up and 90° pointing right, though.) -David -- L.
