Below you'll find some examples and tips how you can use the formulas to create your pattern
[[File:Advice.svg|left|frameless|50x50px]]Important Note:
The formula editor is case sensitiv. So you need to spell the functions right. E.g. <code>'''acosd (wrong)'''</code> is not equal <code>'''acosD (right)'''</code>
=== List of buitlt-in functions ===
Line 37 ⟶ 41:
** E.g.: asinh(90) = 5.19299
* '''atan''' '''⇒''' Inverse tangent function working with radians, Usage: '''<code>atan(x)</code>'''
** The arctangent is the angle whose tangent is the number. The output is an angle in radians in the range -pi/2 to pi/2
** atan(1) = 0.78538
* '''atanD''' '''⇒''' Inverse tangent function working with degrees, Usage: '''<code>atanD(x)</code>'''
** The arctangent is the angle whose tangent is the number. The output is an angle in degrees in the interval [-90, 90]
** atanD(1) = 45
* '''atanh''' '''⇒''' Inverse Hyperbolic tangent function, Usage: <code>'''atanh(x)'''</code>
** Returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent of the elements of <code>X</code>. All angles are in radians.
** atanh(0,99) = 2.64665
* '''avg''' '''⇒''' Mean value of all arguments, Usage: '''<code>avg(arg 1; arg 2; ... arg n)</code>'''
** Computes the average for all values
** avg(2;3;4) = 3
* '''cos''' '''⇒''' Cosine function working with radians, Usage: '''<code>cos(angle 0 in radians)</code>'''
** Function The cosine of an angle, α, defined with reference to a right triangle is cos (α) = adjacent side hypotenuse = b h.
** cos(1) = 0.540302
* '''cosD''' '''⇒''' Cosine function working with degrees, Usage: '''<code>cosD(angle 0 in degrees)</code>'''
** Returns the icosine of the elements of <code>X</code>. All angles are in degrees.
** cosD(180) = -1
* '''cosh''' '''⇒''' Hyperbolic cosine function, Usage: '''<code>cosh(angle 0 in radians)</code>'''
** Returns the hyperbolic cosine of the elements of <code>X</code>. All angles are in radians.
** cosh(0) = 1
* '''degTorad''' '''⇒''' Converts degrees to radians, Usage: '''<code>degTorad(angle 0 in degrees)</code>'''
** degTorad converts it's argument deg (an angle in degrees) to radians. (pi radians is 180 degrees)
** degTorad(180) = 3.14159
* '''exp''' '''⇒''' E raised to the power of x, Usage: '''<code>exp(x) where e = 2.718</code>'''
** The exponential function is a mathematical function denoted by f(x)<math>f(x) = exp(x)</math> or <math>f(x) = e^x</math>
** exp(0) = 1
** exp(2) = 7.38906
* '''fmod''' '''⇒''' Returns the floating-point remainder of x/y (rounded towards zero), Usage: '''<code>fmod(x; y)</code>'''
** Returns the remainder of x divided by y.
** fmod(3.3;2) = 1.3

** The '''<code>rint()</code>''' function rounds the argument to an integral value using the current rounding direction.
** rint(2.3) = 2
** If you want to round to one digit multiply the value first by 10 and divide the result by 10 again: rint(2.356*10)/10 = 2.4
