FS#137 - atand function
There already exist atan, atan2 and atan2d functions, why not atand?
There is no atan2d in POV-Ray atan2d would be the degree based version of atan2, and atand would be the degree based version of atan. Use the radians and degrees functions to convert between the two.
Discussion has revealed that the request was to add the declaration of the function "atand" to "math.inc", where is also an "atan2d". The functions atan and atan2 are built-in POV-ray functions though, and hence unrelated to the functions declared in "math.inc".
Re-opened and changed to category “Distribution / Include files”:
Request to add “atand” to math.inc for completeness.
Correct, though Thorsten said in newsgroup that he already committed the needed change.
I didn’t notice that Thorsten did indeed submit a change (#5025) to the codebase already. Should be in the next beta. I’ll leave the request open as “100% complete” / “requires testing” until then.♦
