Tan()

Generic trig function.

TAN(x) x=Generic Tangent in radians.

example:

	# take tangent of angle in degrees
	y = Tan(90.0 * 180.0/$PI)

	#take the tangent of all elements in an array
	a = Dimensions(10)	# create a 10 element array
	fill a 0.5		# Set all elements to 0.5
	y = Tan(a)

Note: This function can be applied to all numeric types (including arrays & workspaces).

Tan()

These function calculates the tangent of an angle given in radians.

Parameters:

X (Generic)

A single number, array or workspace containing the values to which the trig function is to be applied. Angles must be specified in radians. Undefined values passed to this function will be returned as an undefined result.

RESULT = (Generic)

Tangent of the angle(s) given in radians (or undefined where the function result is beyond the precision of the machine).
