atan2

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

atan2 — Arco tangente de dos variables

Descripción

atan2(float $y, float $x): float

Esta función calcula el arco tangente de las dos variables x y y. Es similar a calcular el arco tangente de y / x, excepto que los signos de ambos argumentos son usados para determinar el cuadrante del resultado.

La función devuelve el resultado en radianes, que se encuentra entre -PI y PI (inclusive).

Parámetros

y: Parámetro dividendo
x: Parámetro divisor

Valores devueltos

El arco tangente de y/x en radianes.

Just a note:

PHP's atan2 function receives parameters in (y,x) and Excel receives it in (x,y) format. Just in case you are porting formulas across. :)

<?php
/**
 *    Given an origin point of (0,0) and a destination point $x,$y
 *  somewhere on an axis grid, compass() determines the compass
 *  heading(direction) of the destination point from the origin
 *    
 *  HOWEVER, atan2(y,x)'s natural compass thinks east is north, 
 * 
 *  {135}-------{ 90}-------{45}
 *      | +-----[ +y]-----+ |  
 *      | |               | |  
 *      | |               | |  
 *  {180} [-x]  [0,0]  [+x] {0} <--------- North ?
 *      | |               | |  
 *      | |               | |  
 *      | +-----[ -y]-----+ | 
 * {-135}-------{-90}-------{-45}
 *
 *
 *    SO, we simply transpose the (y,x) parameters to atan2(x,y) 
 *     which will both rotate(left) and reflect(mirror) the compass. 
 *
 *  Which gives us this compass
 * 
 *  {-45}-------{ 0 }-------{45}
 *      | +-----[ +y]-----+ |  
 *      | |               | |

 *  {-90} [-x]  [0,0]  [+x] {90}
 *      | |               | |  
 *      | |               | |  
 *      | +-----[ -y]-----+ | 
 * {-135}-------{180}-------{135}
 *
 *  FINALLY,` we check if param $x was indeed a negative number, 
 *  if so we simply add 360 to the negative angle returned by atan2()

The russian translation for this article contains a translation error.

Делитель and Делимое should be visa versa:

Делимое is the dividend
Делитель is the divisor

Thank you in advance for fixing this issue. It's quite confusing

Here is a function that will return a new point [Rotate around non-origin pivot point]

(x,y) is current point 
(cx,cy) is pivot point to rotate
=a= is angle in degrees

    $_rotation     = 1;      # -1 = counter, 1 = clockwise
    $_precision    = 2;      # two decimal places

function returnRotatedPoint($x,$y,$cx,$cy,$a)
    {
    # http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/63184.html
    global $_rotation;     # -1 = counter, 1 = clockwise
    global $_precision;    # two decimal places

    
            // radius using distance formula
            $r = sqrt(pow(($x-$cx),2)+pow(($y-$cy),2));
            // initial angle in relation to center
            $iA = $_rotation * rad2deg(atan2(($y-$cy),($x-$cx)));

            $nx = number_format($r * cos(deg2rad($_rotation * $a + $iA)),$_precision);
            $ny = number_format($r * sin(deg2rad($_rotation * $a + $iA)),$_precision);

    return array("x"=>$cx+$nx,"y"=>$cy+$ny);
    }

This function will return degree by vertex coordinates in general trigonometrical coordinate system where zero is located at position (1, 0), 90' at (0, 1), 180' at (-1, 0) and so on.

<?php

function GetDegree($x, $y)
{
  // we don't want to cause division by zero
  if($x == 0) $x = 1 / 10000;
      
  $deg = rad2deg(atan(abs($y / $x)));
      
  if($y >= 0) $deg = $x < 0 ? 180 - $deg : $deg;
  else        $deg = $x < 0 ? 180 + $deg : 360 - $deg;
      
  return $deg;
      
}
