ATAN2 Function
Syntax
Arc_Tangent_Angle as N = ATAN2(N x,N y)
Arguments
- x
A number between - and + .
- y
A number between - and + .
Description
Returns an arc tangent angle (in radians) for all four quadrants
Discussion
ATAN2() returns the arc tangent (in radians) for all four quadrants. With this function, you specify the X and Y coordinates, as opposed to specifying the tangent value, as is the case with the ATAN function.
Example
atan2(0,1) -> 0 rtod( atan2(99,99) ) -> 45
