Degrees Graph Plotter

[SierraKen]

I put this together in just 1 1/2 hours tonight without knowing any equations, just some knowledge about the Circle command's radians that I've used before. This doesn't make circles, except for the line it makes using circles. What it does is make a graph of the degrees you punch in. For example, if you punch in 90, it will make a thick line going straight up. If you punch in 180 it will make a thick line going to the left, and so on. It also writes out the degrees next to the line. Plus I added printer support so you can print out the picture if you wish to on your printer. When it uses the printer, I made it so the background is white and the graphics are black and the thick line is blue. I've wanted to make this since I started programming in BASIC in the 1980's.  Amazing I figured it out all by myself this time. Feel free to use any of this in your own code of course. I might try some artwork with it sometime. Everything in the app is self-explanatory. Enjoy.
