There was an undocumented function for years in the UDFs, but as no requests were made for it be added, a decision was made to remove it.

Thanks guys, 

The DLL call  ended up taking 3x longer to return

$A = TimerInit()
$_ATan2_A = _Atan2_A(3,4)
ConsoleWrite('_ATan2_A ' & $_ATan2_A & ' ms:' & TimerDiff($A) & @CRLF)


$B = TimerInit()
$_ATan2_B = _Atan2_B(3,4)
ConsoleWrite('_ATan2_B ' & $_ATan2_B & ' ms:' & TimerDiff($B) & @CRLF)


Func _ATan2_A($fY, $fX)
    Local $aResult = DllCall("msvcrt.dll", "double:cdecl", "atan2", "double", $fY, "double", $fX)
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, False)
    Return $aResult[0]
EndFunc   ;==>_Atan2

Func _atan2_B($y, $x)
    Return (2 * ATan($y / ($x + Sqrt($x * $x + $y * $y))))
EndFunc
_ATan2_A 0.643501108793284 ms:0.0634787897217576
_ATan2_B 0.643501108793284 ms:0.0193857381785008

Both of the examples are much simpler than the previous user functions I had found.

BTW , I will be using this for gps related calculations, distance, bearing etc

I was going to use it in to get angle based on a point on a circle at one time too for a pathing project I was working on

just a couple of examples of a use for ATan2
