Function Format for Curves
The formulas defining the x, y, and z coordinates of the curve can use trigonometric, hyperbolic, logarithmic, exponential, or power functions. The format for such functions is as follows:
| Function | Returns |
|---|---|
sin (value) |
sine of value (Depends on global angle units setting.) |
cos (value) |
cosine of valuea |
tan (value) |
tangent of valuea |
asin (value) |
arc sine of valuea |
acos (value) |
arc cosine of valuea |
atan (value) |
arc tangent of valuea |
atan2 (y, x) |
arctan(y)/xa |
sinh (value) |
hyperbolic sine of value |
cosh (value) |
hyperbolic cosine of value |
tanh (value) |
hyperbolic tangent of value |
asinh (value) |
inverse hyperbolic sine of value |
exp (value) |
evalue |
ldexp (x,p) |
2xp |
log (value) |
natural logarithm of value |
log10 (value) |
base 10 logarithm of value |
ldexp (x, y) |
xy |
sqrt (value) |
square root of value |
