## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var atan2 = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/atan2' );
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### atan2( y, x )
|
||
|
|
||
|
Computes the angle in the plane (in radians) between the positive x-axis and the ray from `(0,0)` to the point `(x,y)`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var v = atan2( 2.0, 2.0 ); // => atan(1.0)
|
||
|
// returns ~0.785
|
||
|
|
||
|
v = atan2( 6.0, 2.0 ); // => atan(3.0)
|
||
|
// returns ~1.249
|
||
|
|
||
|
v = atan2( -1.0, -1.0 ); // => atan(1.0) - π
|
||
|
// returns ~-2.356
|
||
|
|
||
|
v = atan2( 3.0, 0.0 ); // => π/2
|
||
|
// returns ~1.571
|
||
|
|
||
|
v = atan2( -2.0, 0.0 ); // => -π/2
|
||
|
// returns ~-1.571
|
||
|
|
||
|
v = atan2( 0.0, 0.0 );
|
||
|
// returns 0.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
v = atan2( 3.0, NaN );
|
||
|
// returns NaN
|
||
