Inverse Tangent (2 Input) Function

Owning Palette: Trigonometric Functions

Requires: Base Development System

Computes the arctangent of y/x.

This function can compute the arctangent for angles in any of the four quadrants of the x-y plane, whereas the Inverse Tangent function computes the arctangent in only two quadrants. The connector pane displays the default data types for this polymorphic function.

	y can be a scalar number, array or cluster of numbers, array of clusters of numbers, and so on.
	x can be a scalar number, array or cluster of numbers, array of clusters of numbers, and so on.
	atan2(y,x) is the arctangent of y and x, in radians. atan2(y,x) falls in the range [-pi, pi]. When x or y are complex, the following equation defines atan2(y,x):
