numpy.degrees¶

numpy.degrees(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj]) = <ufunc 'degrees'>¶

Convert angles from radians to degrees.

Parameters

xarray_like: Input array in radians.
outndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional: A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.
wherearray_like, optional: This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the condition is True, the out array will be set to the ufunc result. Elsewhere, the out array will retain its original value. Note that if an uninitialized out array is created via the default out=None, locations within it where the condition is False will remain uninitialized.
**kwargs: For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.

Returns

yndarray of floats: The corresponding degree values; if out was supplied this is a reference to it. This is a scalar if x is a scalar.

Examples

Convert a radian array to degrees

>>> rad = np.arange(12.)*np.pi/6
>>> np.degrees(rad)
array([   0.,   30.,   60.,   90.,  120.,  150.,  180.,  210.,  240.,
        270.,  300.,  330.])

>>> out = np.zeros((rad.shape))
>>> r = np.degrees(rad, out)
>>> np.all(r == out)
True
