# 'north-northwest'
portolan.point(degree=275.1)
# 'west'Convert to traditional names of the Mediterranean basin:
portolan.traditional(degree=12.6)
# 'Quarto di Tramontana verso Greco'
portolan.traditional(abbr='NEbE')
# 'Quarto di Greco verso Levante'Convert between degrees and abbrevations:
portolan.abbr(145.0)
# 'SEbS'
portolan.middle('SEbS')
# 146.25
portolan.range('SEbS')
# (140.625, 151.875)

portolan.range('n')
# (354.375, 5.625)
# the degrees method returns the minimum, middle, and maximum of a compass point
portolan.degrees('SEbS')
# (140.625, 146.25, 151.875)
