Rotation Slider in Python Fails

Question

Goal:

My goal is to rotate the white line as you change the slider value. But it doesn't work! Please assist. Image: Rotation Slider

Effort:

Things I've tried:

Drawing white line as a curve and rotating the curve with rotate method
Drawing white line as an arrow and rotating arrow with rotate method
Establishing a frame f and appending white line to frame and rotating the frame
Using a for loop to continually update the angle of the line.

Please assist.

Code: Rotation Slider

Relevant Lines:

c = curve(pos = [vector(-10,0,0),vector(10,0,0)], radius = 0.3)

def setspeed(s):
    wt.text = '{:1.0f}'.format(s.value)
    
sl = slider(min=0, max=360, step = 10, value = 45, bind=setspeed)

wt = wtext(text='{:1.2f}'.format(sl.value))

c.rotate(angle=sl.value, axis = vector(0,0,1), origin = vector(0,0,0))

I'm no expert with GlowScript, however, I would recommend checking that the c.rotate() function is being called continuously and that sl.value is being updated. — Jacob K

I'll comment that for GlowScrippt VPython questions it's better to post to the GlowScript VPython forum, where there are many more GlowScript VPython users who will see your question than if you post to stackoverflow: groups.google.com/g/glowscript-users — user1114907

It looks like the problem is that the rotate function expects angles in radians, not degrees, so you would say angle=radians(sl.value).
