## taninv2

taninv2 — Returns an arctangent.

## Description

Returns the arctangent of iy/ix, ky/kx, or ay/ax.

## Syntax

    ares taninv2 ay, ax

    ires taninv2 iy, ix

    kres taninv2 ky, kx

    ...taninv2(ky, kx)... (no rate restriction)

Returns the arctangent of iy/ix, ky/kx, or ay/ax. If y is zero, taninv2 returns zero regardless of the value of x. If x is zero, the return value is:

- π/2, if y is positive.

- -π/2, if y is negative.

- 0, if y is 0.

## Initialization

iy, ix -- values to be converted

## Performance

ky, kx -- control rate signals to be converted

ay, ax -- audio rate signals to be converted

    </CsOptions>
    <CsInstruments>

    ; Initialize the global variables.
    sr = 44100
    kr = 4410
    ksmps = 10
    nchnls = 1

    ; Instrument #1.
    instr 1
      ; Returns the arctangent for 1/2.
      i1 taninv2 1, 2

      print i1
    endin

    </CsInstruments>
    <CsScore>

    ; Play Instrument #1 for one second.
    i 1 0 1
    e

    </CsScore>
    </CsoundSynthesizer>

Its output should include a line like this:

    instr 1:  i1 = 0.464
