You'll be able to find information like this easilly from Dr. Math.

http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

You can email Dr. Math your question, and he'll respond with the algorythm. Do you need to find the angle between two points in 3D space or in 2D space?

As indi cited above, you may use the atanfull function to return the angle between two points:

angle# = atanfull(x2-x1, y2-y1)

Where x1/x2 and y1/y2 define the coordinates of your points.

The atanfull command returns a value between -180 and 180, so you'll have to format the resultant value if you require otherwise.

Example:



"so this is not team requests!"

That's because I moved it
