+title: utils.mergeOptions()
+---
+
+The `utils.mergeOptions()` function merges the user-provided options with the
+options from the pattern configuration.
+
+## Signature
+
+```js
+float deg2rad(object settings, object optionsConfig)
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+Typically the only options that are passed as part of settings to the pattern
+are those that differ from the defaults.  This means that if you want to check
+an option outside a draft method, you need to check whether the option is set,
+and if it's not get the default value from the pattern config. Furthermore,
+where the default is stored and whether or not it should be further transformed
+depends on the option type.
+
+This method exists to facilitate this. You pass it the user-provided settings,
+and the pattern config options key, and it will return an object where all
+options are populated with the user-provided values, or their defaults if the
+user did not provide any input.
