Re: FLASH: maths and atan

Hi Carl,

I am assuming atan refers to Arc Tan. I have tangent tables in the Trig

(All) Plug and Play routine, it can be converted to add the Arc tan

feature to it. I can add this feature and put up a new version later on

this week. 


The Arc Tan is the opposite of tangent. Tangent returns the ratio of the

opposite over the near side when entering the angle. Arc Tan returns the

angle based on the ratio.
