Functions
atan2()
Return the arctangent of the quotient of y and x.
atan2(string|int $y, string|int $x) : string
This helper wraps the ArangoDB AQL function ATAN2(y, x) which returns
the arctangent of y/x in radians, using the signs of both arguments to
determine the quadrant of the result. This is more accurate than ATAN(y/x)
for determining the angle from the origin to a point.
Example AQL usage:
ATAN2(0, 1) // returns 0
ATAN2(1, 1) // returns 0.7853981633974483 (π/4)
ATAN2(1, 0) // returns 1.5707963267948966 (π/2)
ATAN2(-1, -1) // returns -2.356194490192345 (-3π/4)
Parameters
- $y : string|int
-
The y coordinate.
- $x : string|int
-
The x coordinate.
