I am working on an isometric game and the designers want to use a different isometric angle than the default one, where I simply had to do a 2/1 offset based on tile size.

I know what the new isometric angle is, how can I work out the w/h ratio to offset my tiles ?

Are you aware of the tangent function and, incidentally, the inverse tangent? – Sam Hocevar Dec 12 '11 at 12:49
No, I wasn't :) Thanks for the heads up. – George Profenza Dec 12 '11 at 15:25
