Function detail

int countDigits(int n, int base = 10);
Returns the number of digits in the given integer in the given base. Defaults to base-10, decimal. For example:

Throws an error if base is 0 or negative.

Usage:

int digits = countDigits(16, 2);

double sinDegrees(double angle);
Returns the trigonometric sine of angle, which is expressed in degrees.

Usage:

double sine = sinDegrees(angle);

double cosDegrees(double angle);
Returns the trigonometric cosine of angle, which is expressed in degrees.

Usage:

double cosine = cosDegrees(angle);

double tanDegrees(double angle);
Returns the trigonometric tangent of angle, which is expressed in degrees.

Usage:

double tangent = tanDegrees(angle);

double toDegrees(double radians);
Converts an angle from radians to degrees.

Usage:

double degrees = toDegrees(radians);

double toRadians(double degrees);
Converts an angle from degrees to radians.

Usage:

double radians = toRadians(degrees);

double vectorDistance(const GPoint & pt);
double vectorDistance(double x, double y);
Computes the distance between the origin and the specified point.

Usage:

double r = vectorDistance(pt);
double r = vectorDistance(x, y);

double vectorAngle(const GPoint & pt);
double vectorAngle(double x, double y);
Returns the angle in degrees from the origin to the specified point. This function takes account of the fact that the graphics coordinate system is flipped in the y direction from the traditional Cartesian plane.

Usage:

double angle = vectorAngle(pt);
double angle = vectorAngle(x, y);
