This function returns the inverse tangent of an angle y/x, where y = Opposite side of triangle and x = Adjacent side of triangle. Unlike darctan() the function darctan2() is valid for all angles and so may be used to convert a vector to an angle without risking division by zero, and it also returns a result in the correct quadrant.
NOTE: The value returned is in degrees, not radians.
darctan2(y, x);
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
y | Real | The y coordinate to calculate. |
x | Real | The x coordinate to calculate. |
val = darctan2(1, 1);
This will set "val" to the correct angle.
