Quad.Atan2 Method

Returns the angle between the X-axis and the ray from the origin to the specified point.

Definition

Namespace: Numerics.NET
Assembly: Numerics.NET (in Numerics.NET.dll) Version: 9.0.3
C#
public static Quad Atan2(
	Quad yValue,
	Quad xValue
)

Parameters

yValue  Quad
The y coordinate of a point.
xValue  Quad
The x coordinate of a point.

Return Value

Quad
An angle, θ, measured in radians, such that -π≤θ≤π, and tan(θ) = y / x, where (x, y) is a point in the Cartesian plane. Observe the following: For (x, y) in quadrant 1, 0 < θ < π/2.For (x, y) in quadrant 2, π/2 < θ≤π.For (x, y) in quadrant 3, -π < θ < -π/2.For (x, y) in quadrant 4, -π/2 < θ < 0.For points on the boundaries of the quadrants, the return value is the following:If y is 0 and x is not negative, θ = 0.If y is 0 and x is negative, θ = π. If y is positive and x is 0, θ = π/2. If y is negative and x is 0, θ = -π/2.
