Convert angle (or distance) units from radians to degrees
Syntax
anglout = rad2deg(anglin)
Description
anglout = rad2deg(anglin) converts angles input in radians to the equivalent measure in degrees.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 the radius is known).Example
There are 180° in
radians:
anglout = rad2deg(pi) anglout = 180
