atan, atanh (MATLAB Function Reference)
Description The atan and atanh functions operate element-wise on arrays. The functions' domains and ranges include complex values. All angles are in radians. Y = atan(X) returns the inverse tangent (arctangent) for each element of X. For real elements of X, atan(X) is in the range .

I know (if I am correct ) that tan^-1(y/x) = arctan(y/x) =atan(y/x) = atan2(y,x) we use these expression to find the angle (theta) that calculateing from the positive real axis to the vector between the origen and the point z.

filling a matrix with information regarding angles using atan-function - MATLAB Answers - MATLAB Central
March 10, 2023 - I do know the velocity as function of radius, so i can generate a NxN matrix containing the information, using the ''position_matrix''. So i only need the angles. I thought the atan(y/x) the best way to deal with this, however this only helps me to obtain the angles in 1 quarter of the plasma.

How can I fit my data to an inverse tangent function? - MATLAB Answers - MATLAB Central
October 23, 2013 - https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/91160-how-can-i-fit-my-data-to-an-inverse-tangent-function#answer_972305 ... Don't know if you guys have solved the problem or not. As I understand, this fitting is to get the resonance frequency and quality factor out of a phase sweep. I figured out that the formula of y = atan(x*a/b/(a^2-x^2)) is not suitable for fitting in MATLAB due to the different period settings for the formula and the atan function in MATLAB.
