atan2(y, x)
Calculates the angle (in radians) from a specified point to the coordinate origin as measured from the positive x-axis. Values are returned as a float in the range from PI
to -PI
. The atan2()
function is most often used for orienting geometry to the position of the cursor. Note: The y-coordinate of the point is the first parameter and the x-coordinate is the second due the the structure of calculating the tangent.
Type: function
Parameter(s):
- y {Number}:
The y coordinate.
- x {Number}:
The x coordinate.
Returns:
-
{Number}:
The atan2 value.
