Description
float atan2
( float $y
, float $x
)
This function calculates the arc tangent of the two variables
x
and y
. It is
similar to calculating the arc tangent of
y
/ x
, except that
the signs of both arguments are used to determine the quadrant of
the result.
The function returns the result in radians, which is between -PI
and PI (inclusive).
