2-quadrant and 4-quadrant element-wise inverse tangent, result in degree.
phi=atand(x)
phi=atand(y,x)
:x real scalar, vector or matrix : :phi real scalar, vector or matrix : :x, y real scalars, vectors or matrices of the same size : :phi real scalar, vector or matrix :
The first form computes the 2-quadrant inverse tangent, which is the inverse of tand(phi). The `` phi elements are in the interval [-90, 90].
The second form computes the 4-quadrant arctangent (atan2 in Fortran), this is, it returns the argument (angle) of the complex number x+i*y. The range of atand(y,x) is [-180,180i].
Both forms yield identical values if x>0.
// example with the second form
x=[0,1/`sqrt`_(3),1,`sqrt`_(3),%inf,0]
