 ===== Explanation of Examples =====
 ==== Rotation ====
-{{ :tips:rotation1.png?200|}}So let’s explain those examples.  The first set uses rotation.  This assumes that you’re using a watch hand as a battery meter.  However, you can use circle shaders too.  The only difference is that instead of using the Rotation field, you’ll use the Circle Shader’s Start and End fields.  ONE of those fields will have the formula, and the other will have the start or end point as appropriate (similar to the segmented examples, which we’ll cover in a bit).
+{{ :tips:rotation1.png?200|}}So let’s explain those examples.  The first set uses rotation.  This assumes that you’re using a watch hand as a battery meter.  However, you can use circle shaders too, with the exact same formulas.  The only difference is that instead of using the Rotation field, you’ll use the Circle Shader’s Start and End fields.  ONE of those fields will have the formula, and the other will have the start or end point as appropriate (similar to the segmented examples, which we’ll cover in a bit).
 The first example is a simple meter, working as a clock hand.  100% at 12:00, moving counterclockwise, and ending up back at 12:00.  There are 100 possible values for battery percentage, and we need to move 360ᵒ.  360/100 is 3.6, so we multiply battery level by 3.6.
