AngBVec

Description

Returns the positive angle between the two specified vectors, in the range of 0~180 degrees.

When used with 3D vectors, the angle returned will be in a plane defined by the two vectors.

FUNCTION AngBVec(
				v1 : VECTOR;
				v2 : VECTOR): REAL;

def vs.AngBVec(v1, v2):
    return REAL

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
v1	VECTOR	First vector to be compared.
v2	VECTOR	Second vector to be compared.

Remarks

([[User:CBM-c-|c]], 2022.01.20) In VS Python the vectors must be a 3-dimensional tuple in form (0.0, 0.0, 0.0), or the routine will return zero.

([[User:CBM-c-|c]], 2010.12.22) See vector diagrams on [[User:CBM-c-/VS-Math| VS Math]].

This is precisely what Vec2Ang does, except that Vec2Ang uses the X axis as the other vector.

Examples

==== VectorScript ====

PROCEDURE Example;
VAR
    pt1, pt2, pt3, pt4 :VECTOR;
BEGIN
    GetPt(pt1.x, pt1.y);
    GetPtL(pt1.x, pt1.y, pt2.x, pt2.y);
    GetPtL(pt2.x, pt2.y, pt3.x, pt3.y);
    MoveTo(pt1.x, pt1.y);
    LineTo(pt2.x, pt2.y);
    LineTo(pt3.x, pt3.y);
    pt4 := (pt1 + pt3) / 2;
    TextOrigin(pt4.x, pt4.y);
    CreateText(Concat(AngBVec(pt1 - pt2, pt3 - pt2)));
END;
RUN(Example);

==== Python ====

v1 = (12, 1, 0) # 3-dimensional tuples
v2 = (3, 15, 45)
vs.Message(str(vs.AngBVec( v1, v2 )))
