NAME
     fixatan  -  Fixed point inverse tangent lookup table. Allegro game program-
     ming library.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <allegro.h>

     fixed fixatan(fixed x);

DESCRIPTION
     This function finds the inverse tangent of a value using  a  lookup  table.
     The  input  value	must be a fixed point radian. The inverse tangent is the
     value whose tangent is `x'. Example:

	fixed result;

	/* Sets `result' to binary angle 13. */
	result = fixatan(ftofix(0.326));
