Hi all,
I am examining the feasibility of manufacturing a lens designed with Surface slope in sequential mode.
In this function, i found the surface slope is a dimensionless quantity (no units).
In practice, however, slope is sometimes expressed in degrees (tan−1ΔyΔx)(tan−1ΔyΔx), as a percentage (tanΔyΔx),(tanΔxΔy), or as a ratio (1:tanΔxΔy).
Additionally, it is confirmed that the tangential slope value appears as shown in the photo below.
Could someone tell me if these numbers are tan(radians) or something else? thank you.
