ATan

A command for Oblivion Script Extender

Syntax:

atan [float]

Returns the arctangent of a number (i.e. the angle whose tangent this is)

Example

set theta to atan n

(unlike asin and acos, where the example provided was meaningful, this example is simply an example)

Notes

• From v0005, all OBSE trigonometric functions take and return degrees. Versions of the functions which accept radians are still available by prefixing the function name with an r. (i.e. ratan)
• This function can be used in a mathematical formula (a + atan b), but a mathematical formula will not compile as the arguement for this function (atan (a + b) doesn't work).
• atan a + b = ( atan a ) + b
