Revision history [back]

You can't get angles in degrees directly from the available library calls, but it's pretty trivial to convert radians to degrees:

double yaw = ...; // however you want to get yaw.
double yaw_degrees = yaw * 180.0 / M_PI; // conversion to degrees
if( yaw_degrees < 0 ) yaw_degrees += 360.0; // convert negative to positive angles
