public static float Atan2(float y, float x);

Description

Returns the angle in radians whose Tan is y/x.

Return value is the angle between the x-axis and a 2D vector starting at zero and terminating at (x,y).

Note: This function takes account of the cases where x is zero and returns the correct angle rather than throwing a division by zero exception.
