Transform - Numbers: Trigonometric

The Trigonometric template appears in the template list when a numeric field of type float32, float64, int8, int16, int32, int64uint8, uint16, uint32, or uint6, has been picked in the Transform pane.  The template computes basic trigonometric operations.

 

Trigonometric

Basic hyperbolic trigonometric operations, allowing choice of radial unit from Arc Minute, Arc Second, Degree or Radian.    Save the result into the specified Result destination using the specified numeric type.

 

  • arc cosine (acos) - Compute the arc cosine of the source field number.
  • arc sine (asin) - Compute the arc sine of the source field number.
  • arc tangent (atan) - Compute the arc tangent of the source field number.
  • cosine (cos) - Compute the cosine of the source field number.
  • sine (sin) - Compute the sine of the source field number.
  • tangent (tan) - Compute the tangent of the source field number.

 

Launch the template by choosing a numeric field and then double-clicking the Trigonometric template.   When the template launches we can specify options.

 

 

Trigonometric : arc cosine (acos)

Compute the arc cosine (inverse cosine) of the source field and save into the specified Result destination.

 

We start with a table with a single Small Numbers field of type float64.   We have used the Layers pane to hide the mfd_id field, for a simpler illustration.

 

 

With the focus on the table window, in the Transform pane we choose the Small Numbers field and then the Trigonometric template.

 

 

In the Trigonometric template, we choose arc cosine (acos) as the Operation.  We leave Degree as the default Unit.

 

For the Result destination, we choose New Field and then enter Acos as the name of the new field to add to the table.  We could use whatever name we want, but it is wise to use names that remind us of what they are supposed to be.   We leave the Result type at the default float64.

 

If we preferred, we could have chosen Same Field to write the result back to the Small Numbers field, updating it "in place," or we could have chosen some other existing numeric field in the table.

 

Press Transform.  

 

 

The template creates a new float64 type field called Acos and populates it with the arc cosines of the numbers in the Small Numbers field.

 

Trigonometric : arc sine (asin)

Compute the arc sine (inverse sine) of the source field and save into the specified Result destination.
