The <b class="uiTerm">Branch Angle</b> is the angle between an extension of the parent segment, of the selected root segment. When a segment is selected a dashed blue line is drawn as an extension of the parent segment, and an arc drawn between the parent segment and the child segment (the selected segment), as well as an arrow indicating the direction of rotation. When the <b class="uiTerm">Branch Angle</b> value updates, the <b class="uiTerm">Rotation Angle</b> is set so that when applied the <b class="uiTerm">Branch Angle</b> will become the value that was entered. A preview of the rotation is then drawn.
