exslt-math:atan2
Returns the angle in radians subtended at the origin by the point on a plane with
coordinates (x, y) and the positive x-axis, the result being in the range -π
to +π
. (Note the order of arguments (y, x). There are some maths
libraries that implement an atan2
function with the arguments in the order
(x, y).

Arguments | |||
| $y | xs:double | The supplied angle in radians |
| $x | xs:double | The supplied angle in radians |
Result | xs:double |
