torch.atan2 — PyTorch 2.7 documentation (original) (raw)

torch.atan2(input: Tensor, other: Tensor, *, out: Optional[Tensor]) → Tensor

Element-wise arctangent of inputi/otheri\text{input}_{i} / \text{other}_{i}with consideration of the quadrant. Returns a new tensor with the signed angles in radians between vector (otheri,inputi)(\text{other}_{i}, \text{input}_{i})and vector (1,0)(1, 0). (Note that otheri\text{other}_{i}, the second parameter, is the x-coordinate, while inputi\text{input}_{i}, the first parameter, is the y-coordinate.)

The shapes of input and other must bebroadcastable.

Parameters

Keyword Arguments

out (Tensor, optional) – the output tensor.

Example:

a = torch.randn(4) a tensor([ 0.9041, 0.0196, -0.3108, -2.4423]) torch.atan2(a, torch.randn(4)) tensor([ 0.9833, 0.0811, -1.9743, -1.4151])
