Description

Calculates the cosine of an angle. This function expects the values of the angle parameter to be provided in radians (values from 0 to PI*2). Values are returned in the range -1 to 1.

Examples

  • size(400,400);
    float a = 0.0;
    float inc = TWO_PI/25.0;
    for (int i = 0; i < 25; i++) {
      line(i*16, 200, i*16, 200+cos(a)*160.0);
      a = a + inc;
    }
