Why, oh why?!!!
Why are the atan function's arguments in the wrong order?! First the Y, then the X?!  (July 14, 2016 at 5:06 am)pocaracas Wrote: Why, oh why?!!! Since when does atan have two arguments?

In IDL, you can call atan with one or two arguments and it's smart enough to know what you mean.  Why 2 arguments? Because we're lazy... Give it an X and Y coordinate for the point in the circle and let it calculate the angle. Why should we have to calculate y/x in separate? Plus, this way, there's less ambiguity and the result can be expressed in the interval ]-pi, pi[, instead of the normal ]-pi/2, pi/2[, which makes phase unwrapping a tad easier.

You have to fight with the quadrants and singularities yourself, or you haven't really done the work!!!
