Calculates the inverse tangent of cells in a raster.
In mathematics, all trigonometric functions have a defined range of valid input values called the domain. The output values from each function also have a defined range. For this tool, the following are true:
The Domain is: -∞ < [in_value] < ∞
The Range is: -pi/2 ≤ [out_value] ≤ pi/2
Note that -∞ and ∞ represent the smallest negative and largest positive values supported by the particular raster format, respectively.
The input values to this tool are interpreted as unitless.
Output values are always floating point, regardless of the input data type.
The output values from this tool are in radians. To use degrees instead, the resulting raster must be multiplied by the radians-to-degrees conversion factor of 180/pi, or approximately 57.296.
For further assistance, a procedure to follow and examples of converting output in radians to degrees are available.
If the input is a multiband raster, the output will be a multiband raster. The tool will perform the operation on each band in the input.
If the input is multidimensional raster data, all slices from all variables will be processed. The output will be a multidimensional raster in CRF format.
