global constant pi = 3.141592654


function Deg2Rad(atom deg) -- convert degree to radian
  return deg/180*pi
end function

function Rad2Deg(atom radian)
   return radian/pi*180
end function

function Polar2Rect(atom angle, atom distance) -- convert polar to rectangular
-- angle is in degree
   x = cos(Deg2Rad(angle)*distance
   y = sin(Deg2Rad(angle)*distance
   return {x,y}
end function

function Rect2Polar(atom dx, atom dy) -- convert rectangular to polar
-- dx and dy are delta x and y between to points (or to the origin)
atom distance, angle
  distance = sqrt(x*x + y*y)
  angle = Rad2Deg(arctan(dy/dx)
  return {angle,distance}
end function
