arctan2(y, x)

Element-wise arc tangent of y/x choosing the quadrant correctly.

The quadrant (i.e., branch) is chosen so that arctan2(y, x) is the signed angle in radians between the ray ending at the origin and passing through the point (1,0), and the ray ending at the origin and passing through the point (x, y). (Note the role reversal: the “y-coordinate” is the first function parameter, the “x-coordinate” is the second.) By IEEE convention, this function is defined for x = +/-0 and for either or both of y and x = +/-inf (see Notes for specific values).

Examples

>>> import descarteslabs.workflows as wf
>>> my_int = wf.Int(1)
>>> wf.arctan2(my_int, my_int).compute() 
0.7853981633974483

>>> import descarteslabs.workflows as wf
>>> my_int = wf.Int(1)
>>> img = wf.Image.from_id("landsat:LC08:PRE:TOAR:meta_LC80270312016188_v1").pick_bands("red")
>>> wf.arctan2(img, my_int).compute(geoctx) # geoctx is an arbitrary geocontext for 'img' 
ImageResult:
  * ndarray: MaskedArray<shape=(1, 512, 512), dtype=float64>
  * properties: 'acquired', 'area', 'bits_per_pixel', 'bright_fraction', ...
  * bandinfo: 'red'
  * geocontext: 'geometry', 'key', 'resolution', 'tilesize', ...

Parameters:

• y (Int, Float, Image, ImageCollection) – y-coordinates
• x (Int, Float, Image, ImageCollection) – x-coordinates

Returns:

x – Angle(s) in radians, in the range [-pi, pi], of the type that results from broadcasting y to x, (except Int is promoted to Float)

Return type:

Float, Image, ImageCollection

Notes

arctan2 is identical to the atan2 function of the underlying C library. The following special values are defined in the C standard: [1]

y	x	arctan2(y,x)
+/- 0	+0	+/- 0
+/- 0	-0	+/- pi
> 0	+/-inf	+0 / +pi
< 0	+/-inf	-0 / -pi
+/-inf	+inf	+/- (pi/4)
+/-inf	-inf	+/- (3*pi/4)

Note that +0 and -0 are distinct floating point numbers, as are +inf and -inf.
