atan2(RObject,RObject) -- two-argument arctangent of R objects

Function: atan2
Usage:

atan2(y, x)
Inputs:
- y, a R object,
- x, a R object,
Outputs:
- a R object, the element-wise arctangent of y/x, in radians;

Description

Compute the two-argument arctangent (i.e., the angle in radians between the positive x-axis and the point (x, y)), calling R's atan2.

i1 : atan2(RObject 1, -1)

o1 = [1] 2.356194

o1 : RObject of type double

i2 : atan2(sqrt 3, RObject 1)

o2 = [1] 1.047198

o2 : RObject of type double

One of the operands may be a Macaulay2 object. It will be converted to an RObject before the operation is performed.
