Rainmeter Forums

Working with some trigonometric functions in Calc measures, I concluded that the Functions section of the help, has a small inadvertence: in the explanation of the Atan(x), Asin(x), Acos(x), Cos(x), Sin(x), Tan(x) functions is written:

Standard trigonometric functions. x is in radians.

The "Standard trigonometric functions" is right, but the "x is in radians" part is true just for the last three functions (Cos(x), Sin(x), Tan(x)). The argument of the Atan(x), Asin(x), Acos(x) functions are not angles (neither in degrees, neither in radians), but numbers. More than this, the argument of the Asin(x) and Acos(x) functions must be between -1 and 1. The result of the Atan(x), Asin(x), Acos(x) functions are indeed expressed into radians.
Eg the Asin(10) will give an error, because as I said, the argument of the Asin (and Acos) function(s) must be between -1 and 1. Asin(0.5) works well.
Please check and if I'm right, fix the help.
Thanks.

Fixed. Thanks for noticing.

Sorry, but it's still not correct.
The "x is between -1 and 1" is correct just for Acos(x) and Asin(x). This restriction is not applying to Atan(x). Its argument don't have to be between these boundaries.

I pushed another small change balala. See if it makes sense now.

I think it's ok now.
