NAME
    atan2 - angle to point

SYNOPSIS
    atan2(y, x, [,eps])

TYPES
    y           real
    x           real
    eps         nonzero real, defaults to epsilon()

    return      real

DESCRIPTION
    If x and y are not both zero, atan2(y, x, eps) returns, as a multiple of
    eps with error less than abs(eps), the angle t such that
    -pi < t <= pi and x = r * cos(t), y = r * sin(t), where
    r > 0.  Usually the error does not exceed abs(eps)/2.

    Note that by convention, y is the first argument; if x > 0,
    atan2(y, x) = atan(y/x).

    To conform to the 4.3BSD ANSI/IEEE 754-1985 math lib, atan2(0,0)
    returns 0.

EXAMPLE
    ; print atan2(0,0), atan2(1,sqrt(3)), atan2(17,53,1e-100)
    0 ~0.52359877559829887307 ~0.31038740713235146535

LIMITS
    eps != 0

LINK LIBRARY
    NUMBER *qatan2(NUMBER *y, *x, *acc)
