	In Response To: Compass Points (Forrest of B.org) : I think this is the key, or a key, or a part of a larger key. Any way, you : just triggered something in my mind here. Whatever works for you! : One glyph says ESE, which means East by South-East. Another glyph is a 32 : over a progress bar 7/10 of the way across. 7/10 of 32 is 22.4, and 22.4 : degrees clockwise from East (standard compass "0") is almost : EXACTY East by South-East! Yes, that it is. Notice, 22.5 * 2 is 45, reasonably close to 48... : Negative? Aren't compass degrees measured clockwise from East? Yes, generally they are. I just wanted to show that the value is 22.5°, which is remarkably close to 22.4. : So could this possibly be translated into another compass direction? (I'm not : familiar with "euclidian coordinate planes". What are they?) They are the basic geometric plane, like what you see when you drop into Graphing Calculator's 2D mode, and on graphing paper. They're called Euclidian because they were refined most thoroughly by Euclid, the famous mathematician. Don't let the name intimidate you. What bothers me is that there's values in each quadrant, so perhaps it doesn't represent a graph. They probably evaluate to another number.
