Description
Returns the angle, in degrees, of the specified vector. If Vect is a 3D vector, Vec2Ang will return the 3D angle between Vect and the X axis. If Vect is {0,0,0}, Vec2Ang returns -90.
FUNCTION Vec2Ang(
Vect :VECTOR) : REAL;
def vs.Vec2Ang(Vect):
return REAL
Parameters
Vect VECTOR Source vector.
Return Value
Returns the angle of the specified vector in degrees.
Remarks
( _c_, 2022.01.18) For Vectorscript Python you might need to add a third item in the tuple for the vector, or vs.Vec2Ang will return 90/-90. This is the opposite in VS Pascal.
Example
VectorScript
{ ... }
p : VECTOR;
vtx1 : INTEGER;
{ ... }
{ fetches coordinates of vertex 1 in a polygon, remember to use GetPolylineVertex if it's a polyline! }
vtx1 := 1;
GetPolyPt( polyHandle, vtx1, p.x, p.y );
ang := Vec2Ang( p );
Python
# fetches coordinates of vertex 1 in a poly, returns a tuple with 2 items in the form ( 0, 0 )
p = vs.GetPolyPt( polyHandle, vtx1 )
ang = vs.Vec2Ang( (p[0], p[1], 0 ) # adds z coordinate or vs.Vec2Ang will fail (VS Python only, Pascal OK )
# or
if Len(p) == 2:
p += (0,) # add a 3rd item to the tuple
ang = vs.Vec2Ang( p ) # returns angle
# FAILURE EXAMPLES:
# ang = vs.Vec2Ang( p ) # always returns 90
# ang = vs.Vec2Ang( (p[0], p[1]) ) # always returns 90
