Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn atan2 ,
|
|
.Fn atan2f ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn atan2l
|
|
functions compute the principal value of the arc tangent of
|
|
.Fa y/ Ns Ar x ,
|
|
using the signs of both arguments to determine the quadrant of
|
|
the return value.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn carg ,
|
|
.Fn cargf ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn cargl
|
|
functions compute the complex argument (or phase angle) of
|
|
.Fa z .
|
|
The complex argument is the number theta such that
|
|
.Li z = r * e^(I * theta) ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Li r = cabs(z) .
|
|
The call
|
|
.Li carg(z)
|
|
is equivalent to
|
|
.Li atan2(cimag(z), creal(z)) ,
|
|
and similarly for
|
|
.Fn cargf
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn cargl .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn atan2 ,
|
|
.Fn atan2f ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn atan2l
|
|
functions, if successful,
|
|
return the arc tangent of
|
|
.Fa y/ Ns Ar x
|
|
in the range
|
|
.Bk -words

|
.Bq \&- Ns \*(Pi , \&+ Ns \*(Pi

.Sh NOTES
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn atan2
|
|
defines "if x > 0,"
|
|
.Fn atan2 0 0
|
|
= 0 despite that previously
|
|
.Fn atan2 0 0
|
|
may have generated an error message.
|
|
The reasons for assigning a value to
|
|
.Fn atan2 0 0
|
|
are these:
|
|
.Bl -enum -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
Programs that test arguments to avoid computing
|
|
.Fn atan2 0 0
|
|
must be indifferent to its value.
|
|
Programs that require it to be invalid are vulnerable
|
|
to diverse reactions to that invalidity on diverse computer systems.
|
|
.It
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn atan2
|
|
function is used mostly to convert from rectangular (x,y)
|
|
to polar
|
|
.if n\
|
|
(r,theta)
|
|
.if t\
|
|
(r,\(*h)
|
|
coordinates that must satisfy x =
|
|
.if n\
|
|
r\(**cos theta
|
|
.if t\
|
|
r\(**cos\(*h
|
|
and y =
|
|
.if n\
|
|
r\(**sin theta.
|
|
.if t\
|
|
r\(**sin\(*h.
|
|
These equations are satisfied when (x=0,y=0)
|
|
is mapped to
|
|
.if n \
|
|
(r=0,theta=0).
|
|
.if t \
|
|
(r=0,\(*h=0).
|
|
In general, conversions to polar coordinates
|
|
should be computed thus:
|
|
.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
|
|
.if n \{\
|
|
r := hypot(x,y); ... := sqrt(x\(**x+y\(**y)
|
|
theta := atan2(y,x).
|
|
.\}
|
|
.if t \{\
|
|
r := hypot(x,y); ... := \(sr(x\u\s82\s10\d+y\u\s82\s10\d)
|
|
\(*h := atan2(y,x).
|
|
.\}
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It
|
|
The foregoing formulas need not be altered to cope in a
|
|
reasonable way with signed zeros and infinities
|
|
on a machine that conforms to
|
|
.Tn IEEE 754 ;
|
|
the versions of
|
|
.Xr hypot 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn atan2
|
|
provided for
|
|
such a machine are designed to handle all cases.
|
|
That is why
|
|
.Fn atan2 \(+-0 \-0
|
|
= \(+-\*(Pi
|
|
for instance.
|
|
In general the formulas above are equivalent to these:
|
|
.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
|
|
.if n \
|
|
r := sqrt(x\(**x+y\(**y); if r = 0 then x := copysign(1,x);
|
|
.if t \
|
|
r := \(sr(x\(**x+y\(**y);\0\0if r = 0 then x := copysign(1,x);
