NAME
       fixtan -	Fixed point tangent of binary angles. Allegro game programming
       library.

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<allegro.h>

       fixed fixtan(fixed x);

DESCRIPTION
       This  function  finds  the tangent of a value using a lookup table. The
       input value must	be a fixed point binary	angle. Example:

	  fixed	angle, res_a, res_b;
	  float	dif;

	  angle	= itofix(37);
	  /* Prove that	tan(angle) == sin(angle) / cos(angle). */
	  res_a	= fixdiv(fixsin(angle),	fixcos(angle));
	  res_b	= fixtan(angle);
	  dif =	fixtof(fixsub(res_a, res_b));
	  allegro_message("Precision error: %f\n", dif);

RETURN VALUE
       Returns the tangent of a	fixed point binary format  angle.  The	return
       value will be in	radians.
