angle_diff_rad: Differences between angles in different circular spaces

Description

Differences between angles in different circular spaces

Usage

angle_diff_rad(a, b)
angle_diff_360(a, b)
angle_diff_180(a, b)
angle_diff_90(a, b)
angle_diff_180_45(a, b)
angle_diff_360_90(a, b)

Value

difference between a and b

Arguments

a

first angle

b

second angle

Functions

• angle_diff_rad(): angle difference in radians

• angle_diff_360(): angle difference in 360 degree space

• angle_diff_180(): angle difference in 180 degree space (e.g., line orientation)

• angle_diff_90(): angle difference in 90 degree space

• angle_diff_180_45(): angle difference in 180 degree space from -45 to 135

• angle_diff_360_90(): angle difference in 360 degree space from -90 to 270

Details

By default, all functions return values in ± half-range space (e.g., -pi to pi for 2pi radian space used by angle_diff_rad()) but angle_diff_180_45() and angle_diff_360_90() return values in [-1/4 range, 3/4 range] space

Examples

angle_diff_180(5, 175)
angle_diff_360(5, 175)

angle_diff_rad(5, 175)

angle_diff_360(300, 0)
angle_diff_360_90(300, 0)
