This function is available on the Add Study window and in the Formula Toolbox.
The Tan function takes the selected chart value, converts it into radians, and calculates a tangent value. For example, the tangent value of 1090 would be .13. This value is calculated as follows:
1090/(2*pi) = 173.478 Calculates the laps around the unit circle
.478 * (2*pi) = 3.00894 Takes the leftover lap and converts it to radians
Sin( 3.00894) radians = .13226249 Calculates the sine for the calculated radians
Cos(3.00894) radians = .99124775 Calculates the cosine for the calculated radians
.13226249/.99124775 = .1334 Divides the sine by the cosine
