Syntax

value = pi

Arguments

value An approximation of the value of pi

Example

clear()
radians( true )
centre = { gWidth() / 2, gHeight() / 2 }
for angle = 0 to 2 * pi step 0.005 loop
    col = { random( 101 ) / 100, random( 101 ) / 100, random( 101 ) / 100, 1.0 }
    result = sincos( angle )
    point = { 600 * result.y + centre.x, 300 * result.x + centre.y }
    line( centre, point, col )
    repeat
update()
sleep( 3 )
