<td>Calculates the angle (in radians) from a specified point to the coordinate origin as measured from the positive x-axis. Values are returned as a <b>float</b> in the range from <b>PI</b> to <b>-PI</b>. The <b>atan2()</b> function is most often used for orienting geometry to the position of the cursor. Note: The y-coordinate of the point is the first parameter and the x-coordinate is the second due the the structure of calculating the tangent.</td>
