What is the formula to convert from Compass Points to π Radians?

The formula to convert angle value from the unit of Compass Points to the unit of π Radians is:

Angle_{(π Radians)} = Angle_{(Compass Points)} / 16

Compass Points unit in Angle

Compass points are a unit of angular measurement based on the traditional 32-point compass rose, where the full circle is divided into 32 equal parts. Each compass point represents 11.25 degrees. Compass points are primarily used in navigation and meteorology to describe directions and wind headings with precision.

π Radians unit in Angle

Pi radians are a unit of angular measurement based on the relationship between the circumference of a circle and its diameter. One pi radian is equivalent to half of a full circle, or 180 degrees. This unit is central to trigonometry and mathematical analysis, especially in contexts involving periodic functions and waveforms.
