It can be, especially in engineering. 128°12'22" (assuming I didn't mix minutes and seconds notation up) Such that it reads "128 degrees 12 minutes and 22 seconds" for radial measurement. Useful especially in various engineering/mathematic fields. ~Justin Wood (Callek) _______________________________________________ dev-tech-layout mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-layout
