The following plots were produced with the packages pst-plot, which is part of pstricks. The plot-package

The inverse function of tan(x), the atan(x), has the syntax y=atan(nominator/demoninator) and
the values are in the range of 0..360°. This is in difference to the default definition of -90...+90°. The

To plot the inverse function of cos(x), the arccos(x) is easier to plot with the parametric macro instead of
the psplot macro.

This examples shows an extremely number of plotted points. The first plot has 3000 and the second one
4000, divided in two intervals of 3000 and 1000. This example shows, that there are nearly no restrictions in
setting the plotpoints=??? option.
