rad2deg - Convert angle units from radians to degrees

Syntax

anglout = rad2deg(anglin)

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, because arc length can be a measure of distance in either radians or degrees (provided the radius is known).

Example

There are 180º in π radians:

anglout = rad2deg(pi)
anglout =
   180
