Trigonometric functions

[madcyborg]

Would it be possible to fill out the rest of the trigonometric functions?
Yes, I know that you can calculate some from the others, but I'm only mediocre in mathematics. I'm using formulas.

The purpose here is, I have an application with a radial dial, and I want to calculate offsets by providing the position on the circle. Needs trig. Thanks.

By the way, absolutely love macro scheduler. I had my own rickety scripts for doing smart home stuff (my personal home), but I needed something more powerful that would allow me to glue together all of these different applications and cloud systems. And it's awfully nice writing with a ready to go library.

I consulted Marcus about this, and he suggests it's a perfect candidate for python. A good starting point would be PyExec

Could just create subroutines for each trig function you want to use. These three usually get me by. You might have to set the function result to a variable then use the variable in your formula similar to the way the result variables are used in the ending message below.

Code: Select all

input>Angle,Angle in Degrees,0


GoSub>Cosine,Angle
GoSub>Sine,Angle
GoSub>Tangent,Angle

SRT>Cosine
  Let>Cos={cos((pi/180)*%Cosine_var_1%)}
END>Cosine

SRT>Sine
  Let>sin={sin((pi/180)*%Sine_var_1%)}
END>Sine

SRT>Tangent
  Let>Tan={(sin((pi/180)*%Tangent_var_1%))/(cos((pi/180)*%Tangent_var_1%))}
END>Tangent
