atan2

Function

Returns the arctangent of y/x (in radians), using the signs of both arguments to determine the quadrant, taking arguments in the order (y, x).

The signature and the sentence under each name are the compiler's own text at commit 26de7be8.

Syntax

declare function atan2<V extends vec2 | vec3 | vec4>(a0: V, a1: V): V
declare function atan2<P0 extends number, P1 extends number>(a0: P0, a1: P1): ([P0] extends [boolean] ? bool : typeof f32Tag extends keyof P0 ? f32 : typeof i32Tag extends keyof P0 ? i32 : typeof u32Tag extends keyof P0 ? u32 : typeof f64Tag extends keyof P0 ? f64 : ([P1] extends [boolean] ? bool : typeof f32Tag extends keyof P1 ? f32 : typeof i32Tag extends keyof P1 ? i32 : typeof u32Tag extends keyof P1 ? u32 : typeof f64Tag extends keyof P1 ? f64 : number))
declare function atan2<T extends Numeric>(a0: T, a1: T): T

A number in a parameter or a return position is the scalar slot. The ambient file declares a GPU scalar as a branded number whose brand is optional, so a literal and any branded scalar both fill it.

type f32 = number & { readonly [f32Tag]?: true }

A declaration you write still needs a width, and a bare number on a field or a parameter is refused; the TypeScript constructs page carries that row with the compiler's own message.

A signature may name a type the ambient file declares for its own use. These are those declarations.

Numeric
type Numeric = number | vec2 | vec3 | vec4 | vec2i | vec3i | vec4i | vec2u | vec3u | vec4u

Parameters

A parameter named by position (a0, a1) carries a name the ambient file generates. A call passes its arguments in order and names none of them.

  • a0 VP0T
  • a1 VP1T

Return value

V([P0] extends [boolean] ? bool : typeof f32Tag extends keyof P0 ? f32 : typeof i32Tag extends keyof P0 ? i32 : typeof u32Tag extends keyof P0 ? u32 : typeof f64Tag extends keyof P0 ? f64 : ([P1] extends [boolean] ? bool : typeof f32Tag extends keyof P1 ? f32 : typeof i32Tag extends keyof P1 ? i32 : typeof u32Tag extends keyof P1 ? u32 : typeof f64Tag extends keyof P1 ? f64 : number))T
