SDL_atan - Man Page
Compute the arc tangent of x.
Synopsis
#include <SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h> double SDL_atan(double x);
Description
The definition of y = atan(x) is x = tan(y).
Domain: -INF <= x <= INF
Range: -Pi/2 <= y <= Pi/2
This function operates on double-precision floating point values, use SDL_atanf for single-precision floats.
To calculate the arc tangent of y / x, use SDL_atan2.
This function may use a different approximation across different versions, platforms and configurations. i.e, it can return a different value given the same input on different machines or operating systems, or if SDL is updated.
Function Parameters
- x
floating point value.
Return Value
Returns arc tangent of of x in radians, or 0 if x = 0.
Thread Safety
It is safe to call this function from any thread.
Availability
This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
