SDL_atan2f - Man Page

Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

float SDL_atan2f(float y, float x);

The definition of z=atan2(x,y) is y=xtan(z) , where the quadrant of z is determined based on the signs of x and y.

Domain: -INF<=x<=INF , -INF<=y<=INF Range: -Pi/2<=y<=Pi/2 This function operates on single-precision floating point values, use

SDL_atan2
for double-precision floats.

To calculate the arc tangent of a single value, use SDL_atanf .

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.

y

floating point value of the numerator (y coordinate).

x

floating point value of the denominator (x coordinate).

Returns arc tangent of of y/x in radians, or, if x=0 , either -Pi/2 , 0 , or Pi/2 , depending on the value of y .

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
