help to calculate atan2 properly

问题

I need to calculate the angle between lines. I need to calculate atan. So I am using such code

static inline CGFloat angleBetweenLinesInRadians2(CGPoint line1Start, CGPoint line1End) 
{
    CGFloat dx = 0, dy = 0;

    dx = line1End.x - line1Start.x;
    dy = line1End.y - line1Start.y;
    NSLog(@"\ndx = %f\ndy = %f", dx, dy);

    CGFloat rads = fabs(atan2(dy, dx));

    return rads;
}

But I can't get over 180 degrees(( After 179 deg going 178..160..150 and so on.

I need to rotate on 360 degrees. How can I do it? What's wrong?

maby this helps:

//Tells the receiver when one or more fingers associated with an event move within a view or window.
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    NSArray *Touches = [touches allObjects];
    UITouch *first = [Touches objectAtIndex:0];

    CGPoint b = [first previousLocationInView:[self imgView]]; //prewious position
    CGPoint c = [first locationInView:[self imgView]];          //current position

    CGFloat rad1 = angleBetweenLinesInRadians2(center, b);  //first angel
    CGFloat rad2 = angleBetweenLinesInRadians2(center, c);  //second angel

    CGFloat radAngle = fabs(rad2 - rad1);           //angel between two lines
    if (tempCount <= gradus)
    {
        [imgView setTransform: CGAffineTransformRotate([imgView transform], radAngle)];
        tempCount += radAngle;
    }

}

回答1:

Remove the fabs call and simply make it:

CGFloat rads = atan2(dy, dx);

回答2:

atan2 returns results in [-180,180] (or -pi, pi in radians). To get results from 0,360 use:

float radians = atan2(dy, dx);
if (radians < 0) {
    radians += M_PI*2.0f;
}

It should be noted that it is typical to express rotations in [-pi,pi] and thusly you can just use the result of atan2 without worrying about the sign.

Use this function in Swift. This makes sure the angle from "fromPoint" to "toPoint" lands between 0 to <360 (not including 360). Please note, the following function assumes that CGPointZero is at top left corner.

func getAngle(fromPoint: CGPoint, toPoint: CGPoint) -> CGFloat {
    let dx: CGFloat = fromPoint.x - toPoint.x
    let dy: CGFloat = fromPoint.y - toPoint.y
    let twoPi: CGFloat = 2 * CGFloat(M_PI)
    let radians: CGFloat = (atan2(dy, -dx) + twoPi) % twoPi
    return radians * 360 / twoPi
}

For the case where the origin is at the bottom left corner

let twoPi = 2 * Float(M_PI)
let radians = (atan2(-dy, -dx) + twoPi) % twoPi
let angle = radians * 360 / twoPi
