Convert angle (or distance) units from degrees to radians
Syntax
anglout = deg2rad(anglin)
Description
anglout = deg2rad(anglin) converts angles input in degrees to the equivalent measure in radians.Remarks
This is both an angle conversion function and a distance conversion function, since arc length can be a measure of distance in either radians or degrees, provided that the radius is known.Example
Show that there are 2
radians in a full circle:
2*pi - deg2rad(360)
ans =
0
