Definition

FLOAT tan ( <FLOAT angle> )

Returns the tangent of a certain angle.

This function performs a tangent calculation on a certain angle and returns a value between -1 and 1.

Parameters

FLOAT angle

- Angle, in thousandths of degrees. i.e. 75000 = 75º

Returns

FLOAT : The tangent result of the specified angle.

Notes

The angle value used in this function should be in thousandths of degrees, as most angles within Fenix are.
