rad2deg

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
