fromRadians

Convert angles from radians

Syntax

[A1,...,An] = fromRadians(toUnits,R1,...,Rn)

Description

[A1,...,An] = fromRadians(toUnits,R1,...,Rn) converts the angles specified by R1,...,Rn from radians to the units specified by toUnits. This function is useful for converting angles from radians when you do not know the output units until run-time.

Examples

Convert from Radians to Degrees

Convert several values from radians to degrees.

[A1,A2,A3,A4] = fromRadians("degrees",pi/2,pi,3*pi/2,2*pi)

A1 = 
90

A2 = 
180

A3 = 
270

A4 = 
360

Convert the same values from radians by specifying an array.

R = [pi/2 pi 3*pi/2 2*pi];
A = fromRadians("degrees",R)

A = 1×4

    90   180   270   360

Input Arguments

toUnits — Output unit

"degrees" | "radians"

Output unit, specified as "degrees" or "radians". You can also specify abbreviations such as "deg" and "rad".

Data Types: char | string

R1,...,Rn — Angles in radians

numeric array

Angles in radians, specified as one or more numeric arrays.

Output Arguments

A1,...,An — Angles in degrees or radians

numeric array

Angles in degrees or radians, returned as the same number of numeric arrays as in R1,...,Rn. The size of each output array matches the size of the corresponding input array.
