Atan2 takes 2

The atan2 function takes two arguments. Are you listening JayPro? Some of the flowfields that you were so gracious to help me with used atan2 with only one arg. I changed most of them to just atan. One I had to supply the 2nd arg to make it look as before.

A couple of my original ones still aren't working. It might have something to do with flor or mod. I am waiting on word from The Man.

If you recall, I advised you that in some of your fields, you had "mod", wich is represented in GF code with a "%" sign.

I really don't think "flor" makes too big a difference in the overall look of a field, so that might not be the issue.

Being math-challenged, I can't vouch for the atan/atan2 hair-splitting stuff, save to say that in my limited experience with atan2, it requires careful implementation.

I believe Rovastar can regale you with a lot more details there.

You advised me well, I should have heeded.
It's % now and working again, thanks, JayPro.

Yes atan2 now takes 2 variables.

I would advise on not using the temp fix of the old atan2. It really didn't do anything too useful and nothing that could be done already with the atan command and calculation or two.

ANd now we have proper version that takes 2 inpputs.

For more info see this thread where it all started:

Also

? Has the Flor command been removed?

I use this in many of my scenes to get integer values.

The flor seems to work. I took a flow and used it to zero out a couple numbers and it did look different.
