Libgdx rotating to angle with Vector2s
java,rotation,libgdx,angle,dot
When your ship is directly below, and just a little bit to the left of, the target, then the call Math.atan2(pTargetPos.x - pPos.x, -(pTargetPos.y - pPos.y)) will return a value very close to π/2. When your ship is directly below, and just a little to the right of, the target,...
data structure for storing angle intervals
algorithm,binary-search-tree,computational-geometry,intervals,angle
The circularity of angles is not a major obstacle: to instead an interval like [270, 45) that wraps around, instead insert two intervals [270, 360), [0, 45). To implement insertion without wraparound, we can use a binary search tree. This tree tracks the uncovered intervals by mapping each endpoint of...
Objective-C Trigonometry
objective-c,math,trigonometry,angle
The trig formula is tan(angle) = opposite / adjacent So to get the angle from the side lengths, you need to use the inverse tangent, which is atan2. double angle = atan2(opposite, adjacent); From there the rest of your code works as long as you know that atan2 returns an...
Racket GUI, drawing text vertically, issues with “angle” argument
user-interface,text,racket,angle
It's not clear from the example, but did you remember to convert the 90 degrees into radians? The convention is that 360 degrees is the same as 2pi radians. Or dividing by 360, we get that 1 degree is 2pi/360 radians. Multiplying by 90, the result is that 90 degrees...
Why does this angle calculation return only values of 0 or -1?
Besides the minor problems, like use of uninitialized variable here int y2 = y1 * y2;, You are using int variables for obviously floating point calculations of the angle, which should be a fractional number in radians (which is hinted by the calculation attempt used). You need to work with...
Find the sign of the angles from an accelerometer
c#,math,vector,accelerometer,angle
I think you are confused about what you are actually calculating here. Make sure you are aware that you are simply calculating the angle by using the definition of cosinus: cos(accelAngleN*2*Math.Pi/360) = accelForceN/directionalVector (the multiplication with 2Pi/360 merely transforms an angle into Radian). Now consider that the angular sum in...
Get angle in terms of 360 degrees
You need to use a little bit more information than just the arcsin to figure this out. The reason for this is that arcsin will only return values between -π/2 and π/2 (-90 degrees and 90 degrees), as you already know. So, to figure out the other part, you need...
Python: find a x,y coordinate for a given point B using the distance from the point A (x0, y0) and the angle
python,coordinates,distance,trigonometry,angle
You just need a function that converts degrees to radians. Then your function simply becomes: from math import sin, cos, radians, pi def point_pos(x0, y0, d, theta): theta_rad = pi/2 - radians(theta) return x0 + d*cos(theta_rad), y0 + d*sin(theta_rad) (as you can see you mixed up sine and cosine in...
Find angle from two points formula
tan, sin, and cos are actually measuring the ratios between two edges of a 3-edged object aka a triangle. Hence in your case, to form that triangle, you will need the lengths of two edges. They are the lengths between y1 and y2, and x1 and x2. That is why...
Angle between two lines beginning at one side of the line
math,geometry,line,pseudocode,angle
Let's define some notation: A := (a1, a1). B := (b1, b2). C := (c1, c2). Then the determinant D of the matrix 1 a1 a2 1 b1 b2 1 c1 c2 determines whether C lies left or right of the directed line AB [cf. Computational Geometry - Berg, van...
Convert Quaternion back into Euler
rotation,quaternions,euler-angles,angle
Figured it out, and appreciate your help antont. It was a nuance of Assimp. Apparently it for some odd reason (bug?) reads rotations in backwards, and so you have to do ToEulerZYX, but then reverse use of xyz to zyx. float3 keyValueOrig = quat.ToEulerZYX(); float3 keyValue; keyValue.z = RadToDeg(keyValueOrig.x); keyValue.y...
How do I draw a line at an angle?
Step 1: Extend JPanel and override paintComponent(). You've mentioned you already do this step, but more info is available here. Step 2: Get the value of your JSlider into your paintComponent() method. Step 3: Add a listener to the JSlider that tells your JPanel to repaint itself whenever the value...
Angle between two points, 0-360, CW? [closed]
math,language-agnostic,geometry,angle
The atan2 function gives the angle of a point with respect to the X axis, given the point's x and y coordinates. The result typically ranges betwen -180 and 180 degrees, but we can adjust that to [0, 360] later. You can find the angle between two lines A and...

Orbital Mechanics: Estimated Time To Form Specific Angle Between Two Planets
physics,angle,orbit,orbital-mechanics
There is not a simple formula as such but there is an algorithm you could program to determine the results. Pentadecagon is also correct in that you need to take into account n*360. You are also right in that you stop one of the planets and work on the difference...
Math in programming: Trigonmetry about rotating angle between points
android,math,trigonometry,angle
If you want to find angle between vectors (point-previous) and (point-now), use: Math.atan2((now.x - point.x)*(previous.y - point.y) - (now.y - point.y)*(previous.x - point.x), (now.x - point.x)*(now.y - point.y) - (previous.x - point.x)*(previous.y - point.y)) (This is atan2(vectorproduct, scalarproduct)) You may also use angle = atan2(now.y-point.y, now.y-point.y)- atan2(previous.y-point.y, previous.x-point.x); ...
How to convert an angle to a vector

How do i orient my bullets in the right direction?
matrix,rotation,processing,game-physics,angle
If you want to get an angle between 2 points you can use atan2 the following way: angle = atan2(playerY - bulletY, playerX - bulletX); //This angle is not returned in radians, to convert it simply use the function: angle = degrees(angle); Of course afterwards you have to draw the...
Find a point on a line perpendicular and through the middle of another line
matlab,vector,3d,computational-geometry,angle
It's a simple use of the cross-product and scalar-product: You first find a normal vector N of the plane spanned by those points. This is done via the cross product of B-A and O-A. Then the directional vector AP can be found as the cross product of N and B-A....
How do I set a RevoluteJoint angle and velocity exactly?
box2d,angle,jbox2d,revolute-joints
Joints don't inherently have any angle or velocity of their own. It's the relative angle and velocity of the two bodies they connect that determines what you get when you call GetJointAngle and GetJointSpeed (see the source). So it follows that there is so direct means to set these things...
Animating object angle to target angle
I think one way would be something like ... dAngle = (targetAngle - angle) % two_pi; //Range of (-two_pi .. two_pi) dAngle += (dAngle > pi? -two_pi : dAngle < -pi? two_pi : 0); //Range of [-pi .. pi] angle += 0.05 * dAngle; Also, if you want it always...
Find the angle of a rotated ellipse
c++,rotation,angle,ellipse,dxf
You are ignoring the translation of the ellipse, that is, that the center may not be placed at (0, 0). If that where the case, your solution would be OK. To undo the effect of the translation, simply substract the coordinates for the center: auto angle = std::atan2(ellipse.my - ellipse.cy,...
how to find angle between an ellipse and a vertical line that is in the middle of the image?
The angle between the major axis of the ellipse and the x-axis is given by the Orientation property of regionprops. The angle is given in degrees and will lie in the range between -90° and +90°. I assume you are using exactly the mentioned code. There the Orientation value is...
How can i change the degree at which the gradient starts

How do I generate a `x,y` co-ordinates that is always 90 degrees either left or to the right of the current position of a UIImage?
Try this: Convert your CGPoint to a vector then use: /* * Returns the vector rotated by an angle */ - (CGVector)vectorFromVector:(CGVector)vector rotatetByAngle:(CGFloat)radians{ return CGVectorMake(cosf(radians) * vector.dx - sinf(radians) * vector.dy, sinf(radians) * vector.dx + cosf(radians) * vector.dy); } and convert back to CGPoint....
calculating angle between two points on edge of circle Swift SpriteKit
Given points p1, p2 on a circle with center center, you would compute the difference vectors first: let v1 = CGVector(dx: p1.x - center.x, dy: p1.y - center.y) let v2 = CGVector(dx: p2.x - center.x, dy: p2.y - center.y) Then let angle = atan2(v2.dy, v2.dx) - atan2(v1.dy, v1.dx) is the...

The easiest and most logically way to get at this problem is using the dot-product. Try this code (I've commented practically everything): import math def dot(vA, vB): return vA[0]*vB[0]+vA[1]*vB[1] def ang(lineA, lineB): # Get nicer vector form vA = [(lineA[0][0]-lineA[1][0]), (lineA[0][1]-lineA[1][1])] vB = [(lineB[0][0]-lineB[1][0]), (lineB[0][1]-lineB[1][1])] # Get dot prod dot_prod...
Rotation direction continuos check
c#,actionscript-3,angle,difference
Maybe this helps. The variable continuousAngle will track the total knob turning performed, i.e. turning the knob twice counterclockwise will get you to 720. Then turning it three times clockwise takes you back down to -360. Everything else should be easy to derive - limiting the minimum and maximum values,...

Python pendulum
For any physically-reasonable pendulum, your h should be less than 1 (seconds) to model this properly. But you're casting to int which rounds down, so you get h=0 (no time step). Instead, use float: h=float(input("h: ")) q=float(input("Angle: ")) l=float(input("Pendulum length: ")) ...
Calculating velocity from speed and direction
Taking k_g's answer, we can actually shorten it quite a bit given that Vector2f has operator overloads. It can simply become: sf::Vector2f findVel(const sf::Vector2f& aPos, const sf::Vector2f& bPos, float speed) { sf::Vector2f disp = bPos-aPos; float distance = sqrt(disp.x*disp.x+disp.y*disp.y); // std::hypot(disp.x, disp.y) if C++ 11 return disp * (speed/distance); }...
