Matrix.ArcTan2 Method (TMtxVec, TMtxVec)

Inverse tangens of Y/X.

Syntax
C#
Visual Basic
public TMtxVec ArcTan2(TMtxVec Y, TMtxVec X);

Calculates the inverse tangens of Y/X, and returns an angle in the correct quadrant. The results are stored in calling object elements. Size and Complex properties of calling object are adjusted automatically to match those of X and Y objects. An exception is raised if X and Y size and Complex properties do not match. 

The result will fall in the range from -PI to PI radians. 

Note ArcTan is calculated as ArcTan2(1, X).
