fixtan

Fixed point tangent of binary angles.

Description

fixed fixtan(fixed x);
This function finds the tangent of a value using a lookup table. The input value must be a fixed point binary angle. Example: 
      fixed angle, res_a, res_b;
      float dif;



      angle = itofix(37);
      /* Prove that tan(angle) == sin(angle) / cos(angle). */
      res_a = fixdiv(fixsin(angle), fixcos(angle));
      res_b = fixtan(angle);
      dif = fixtof(fixsub(res_a, res_b));
      allegro_message("Precision error: %f\n", dif);
Returns the tangent of a fixed point binary format angle. The return value will be in radians.
