The {{KW|ATN}} or arctangent function returns the angle in radians of a numerical [[TAN|tangent]] value.

{{PageSyntax}}
|
||
|
:: radian_angle = '''ATN(''tangent!'')'''

{{PageDescription}}
|
||
|
* The [[SINGLE]] or [[DOUBLE]] ''tangent'' value would be equal to the tangent value of an angle. EX: [[TAN]](ATN(1)) = 1
|
||
|
* The return is that tangent value's ''angle'' in radians. To convert from radians to degrees, multiply radians * (180 / π).
|
||
|
* The function return value is between -π / 2 and π / 2.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
''Example 1:'' When the [[TAN]]gent value equals 1, the line is drawn at a 45 degree angle(.7853982 radians) where [[SIN]] / [[COS]] = 1.
