This documentation is still a work in progress. It has omissions, and it probably has errors too. If you see any issues, or have any general feedback, please get in touch.
The Aroon indicator calculates two results: aroon-down and aroon-up. In
combination, they can help determine when a trend is developing. It takes one
parameter: period n.
$$aroon^{down}_{t} = 100\frac{n-l_{t}}{n}$$
$$aroon^{up}_{t} = 100\frac{n-h_{t}}{n}$$
where l is the number of bars back to the lowest value in the previous n bars, and
h is the number of bars back to the highest value in the previous n bars.

Example Usage
Calling From C
/* Example usage of Aroon */
/* Assuming that 'high' and 'low' are pre-loaded arrays of size 'in_size'. */
TI_REAL *inputs[] = {high, low};
TI_REAL options[] = {5}; /* period */
TI_REAL *outputs[2]; /* aroon_down, aroon_up */
/* Determine how large the output size is for our options. */
const int out_size = in_size - ti_aroon_start(options);
/* Allocate memory for each output. */
outputs[0] = malloc(sizeof(TI_REAL) * out_size); assert(outputs[0] != 0); /* aroon_down */
outputs[1] = malloc(sizeof(TI_REAL) * out_size); assert(outputs[1] != 0); /* aroon_up */
/* Run the actual calculation. */
const int ret = ti_aroon(in_size, inputs, options, outputs);
assert(ret == TI_OKAY);
