http://williams.best.vwh.net/avform.htm#Math, Ata2(x,y) can be defined as:

   atan2(y,x)=atan(y/x)       x>0
   atan2(y,x)=atan(y/x)+pi    x<0, y>=0
   atan2(y,x)=pi/2            x=0, y>0
   atan2(y,x)=atan(y/x)-pi    x<0, y<0
   atan2(y,x)=-pi/2           x=0, y<0
   atan2(0,0) is undefined and should give an error.
