Re: [Perldl] Degrees and Radians ?

2014-12-20 Thread Chris Marshall
I don't think that repo up to date.  The current PDL CPAN devel release has
this to say:

 pdldoc Constants
NAME
PDL::Constants -- basic compile time constants for PDL

DESCRIPTION
This module is used to define compile time constant values for PDL. It
uses the constant module for simplicity and availability. We'll need to
sort out exactly which constants make sense but PI and E seem to be
fundamental.

SYNOPSIS
 use PDL::Constants qw(PI E);
 print 'PI is ' . PI . \n;
 print 'E  is ' .  E . \n;

  PI
The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter

  DEGRAD
The The number of degrees of arc per radian (180/PI)

  E
The base of the natural logarithms or Euler's number

  I
The imaginary unit,  I*I == -1 

  J
The imaginary unit for engineers,  J*J == -1

 Which one PDL use for trig functions : radians or degrees
 And is there functions for conversion ?
 The docs is very terse on this ...
 There is some constant mentioned in PDL::Constants  DEGRAD, but I dont
 see it in the source.

Re: [Perldl] Degrees and Radians ?

The standard trig functions use radians.  To convert radians to degrees,
divide by PI and multiply by 180.  PDL::Constants includes PI and DEGRAD
which may be of use.  I usually cook the conversions up myself.
