dms2deg, dms2rad

Convert angle units from dms format to degrees or radians

Syntax

• anglout = dms2deg(anglin)
  angleout = dms2rad(anglin)
  

Description

anglout = dms2deg(anglin) converts angles input in degrees-minutes-seconds (dms) format to the equivalent measure in decimal degrees.

anglout = dms2rad(anglin) converts angles input in degrees-minutes-seconds (dms) format to the equivalent measure in radians.

Remarks

The inputs can be in degrees-minutes (dm) format, since numerically they look like dms format in which seconds are always zero.

Example

• dms2deg(430.00)
  ans =
            4.50
