This stack contains a couple handlers and functions which do some trigonometry functions dealing with angles and their radius's length. Using the formula:
radius = x + y
you are able to find the radius (or distance of the line) from 1 point to another. Using the formula:
∂= ArcTan (y/x)
you are able to find the angle measurement between the two points.
Because, however, Hypercard deals with angle measurements in Radians, it was necessary to write a function to convert radian measurements into degrees. This, too, is included and located in the stack's script, or click ME to see it.

This stack (and its contents) was done by Jason A. Haslup, one of your regular stackheads who thought this up on his way home from school. Ideas for use include: Trig. teaching, games where you need to know angles and distances. I'm sure there are others, but I'll leave them up to you to find out.

Terms of Use:
Actually, NONE! This stack is FREE! (wow). Of course, if you really, really love it, you can send me something, but I don't require it. If you could, you may send me a note commenting about the stack, I would like that. Other than that, use if freely in your stacks! I would REALLY like it if you included my name in that stack, too. If you modify it, send the new one to me, I know there is at least 1 problem with it (I'll let you find it).
