Degrees

Scripting vs Addons
Integers and Floats
Note that unlike config.cpp's (addons), a Number in scripting language is ANY numeric entity. Floats, or integers. It is NOT the same as a config's Integer or Float. Number covers both types.
Booleans
Note also, unlike config.cpp's, Boolean is a real type in scripting language. In addons, it is a poetic licence for a zero/non zero Integer
