as the subject line says, and how, in relation to a set coordinate do i make the angle correspond to the mouse?
For example, if i have one point and then i want a line to extend through the mouse cursor, how do i use angles to draw the line directly to the cursor? |

Your example doesn't require that you know the angle. You could just do
code: |
Draw.Line(x,y, x + (mx - x) * lambda, y + (my - y) * lambda, black) % lambda is some positive real number. If lambda = 1, you get a line from the given point (x,y) to the mouse
|
But if you want to find the angle, you have to do little more than take the inverse tangent (arctan) of opposite over adjacent, plus some quadrant work. |
