MathArctan2

Returns the arctangent of the quotient of two arguments (x, y).

Version for working with the ratio of the two specified numbers (x, y): 

Return Value

Angle θ, measured in radians, so that -π≤θ≤π and tan (θ) = y or x, where (x, y) is a point in a Cartesian coordinate system.

Version for working with the ratio of the element pairs from the x and y arrays:            

Return Value

Returns true if successful, otherwise false.

Parameters

y

[in]  The Y coordinate of the point. 

x

[in]  The X coordinate of the point. 

x[]

[in]  Array of X coordinates of the points.

y[]

[in]  Array of Y coordinates of the points. 

result[]

[out]  Array to output the results 

Notes

Please note the following.

• For (x, y) in the quadrant 1, the return value will be:  0 < θ < π/2.
• For (x, y) in the quadrant 2, the return value will be:  π/2 < θ≤π.
• For (x, y) in the quadrant 3, the return value will be:  -π < θ <-π/2.
• For (x, y) in the quadrant 4, the return value will be:  -π/2 < θ < 0.

The return value for the points outside these quadrants is indicated below.

• If y is 0 and x is not negative, then θ = 0.
• If y is 0 and x is negative, then θ = π.
• If y is a positive number, and x is 0, then θ = π/2.
• If y is negative and x is 0, then θ = -π/2.
• If y is 0 and x is 0, then θ = -π/2.

If the value of the x or y parameter is NaN, or if the values of the x and y parameters are equal to the value PositiveInfinity or NegativeInfinity, the method returns the NaN value.
