RadToDeg
Type
Function returning Single
Invocation
RadToDeg(angle)
Parameter
Method
Type
Description
angle
ByVal
Single
The angle, in radians, to convert to degrees.
Discussion
The trigonometric functions in the System Library all use radian angle measure.  Depending on the
programming task, it is sometimes more convenient to think of angles in terms of degrees.  This function
and its inverst DegToRad() facilitate the conversion between the two systems.
Depending on optimization settings, if the parameter supplied to this function is known to be constant at
compile time, the compiler will convert the value at compile time.   Otherwise, code is generated to
perform the conversion (multiplication by a conversion factor) at run time.
Example
Dim f as Single
Dim theta as Single    ' the angle in degrees
theta = RadToDeg(Asin(f))
Compatibility
This function is not available in BasicX compatibility mode.
