The Trigonometric Math geoprocessing functions perform various trigonometric calculations on the values in an input raster.

There are several general categories of trigonometric calculations. The available geoprocessing functions in each of the categories are listed here:

  • Standard trigonometric geoprocessing functions:
    • Cos (cosine), Sin (sine), Tan (tangent).
  • Inverse (or "arc") trigonometric geoprocessing functions:
    • ACos (inverse cosine), ASin (inverse sine), ATan (inverse tangent).
    • There is also an inverse tangent based on x,y, as ATan2.
  • Hyperbolic trigonometric geoprocessing functions:
    • CosH (hyperbolic cosine), SinH (hyperbolic sine), TanH (hyperbolic tangent ).
  • Inverse hyperbolic trigonometric geoprocessing functions:
    • ACosH (inverse hyperbolic cosine), ASinH (inverse hyperbolic sine), ATanH (inverse hyperbolic tangent).

The following table lists the available geoprocessing functions and provides a brief description of each.
