SDL_atan - Compute the arc tangent of x.
Contents
Availability
This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
Description
The definition of y=atan(x) is x=tan(y).
Domain: -INF<=x<=INF
Range: -Pi/2<=y<=Pi/2
This function operates on double-precision floating point values, use SDL_atanf for single-precision
floats.
To calculate the arc tangent of y / x, use SDL_atan2.
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.
Function Parameters
x floating point value.
Name
SDL_atan - Compute the arc tangent of x.
Return Value
Returns arc tangent of of x in radians, or 0 if x=0.
