SYNOPSIS
-
#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
al_fixed al_fixtan(al_fixed x);
DESCRIPTION
This function finds the tangent of a value using a lookup table. The input value must be a fixed point binary angle.
Example:
-
al_fixed angle, res_a, res_b; float dif; angle = al_itofix(37); /* Prove that tan(angle) == sin(angle) / cos(angle). */ res_a = al_fixdiv(al_fixsin(angle), al_fixcos(angle)); res_b = al_fixtan(angle); dif = al_fixtof(al_fixsub(res_a, res_b)); printf("Precision error: %f\n", dif);
RETURN VALUE
Returns the tangent of a fixed point binary format angle as a fixed point value.
