(angtos angle [mode [precision]])


Convert this absolute angle to a string, relative to angbase.


The angtos function converts the angle in radians to strings. This is similar to the rtos function, but angtos converts angles to strings rather than converting numbers to strings. The optional mode argument (0 through 4) selects the format of the string:

Mode Description Example
0 Decimal degrees 360d
1 Deg-min-sec 47d29'15"
2 Grad 132g
3 Radian 6.28r
4 Surveyor's units N 82d W

NOTE The optional precision argument allows you to select the number of places after the decimal point. The range is from 0 to 15.

Examples

Code Returns
(angtos 1.570796) "90"
(angtos 1.570796 2 4) "100.0000g"
(angtos 0.654932 1 3) '37d31'29""
