atan2 -- compute an angle of a certain triangle

Synopsis

• Usage:

  atan2(y,x)

  atan2(y,I)

  atan2(J,x)

  atan2(J,I)

• Inputs:
  • y, a real number
  • x, a real number
  • J, a real interval
  • I, a real interval
• Outputs:
  • a real number, the angle (in radians) formed with the x-axis by the ray from the origin to the point (x,y)
  • a real number, an interval containing the angles (in radians) formed with the x-axis by the rays from the origin to the points of (I,y),(x,J),(I,J)
