52 // Some handy conversion constants.
53 // Use templatized inline conversion routines instead whenever possible.
54 // These are defined so that you can multiply by them. For example, if you have
55 // an angle qRad in radians and want to convert to degrees, write qDeg = qRad*SimTK_RTD.
56 // Note that the expressions here will always be evaluated at compile time, yielding
57 // long double results which you can cast to smaller sizes if you want.
