Py5Vector.angle_between()

Py5Vector.angle_between()#

Measure the angle between two vectors.

Examples#

import numpy as np

v1 = py5.Py5Vector(0, 40)
v2 = py5.Py5Vector(10, 10)
angle = v1.angle_between(v2)
print(f'angle = {round(py5.degrees(angle))}°')
# angle = 45°
angle = np.arccos(v1.norm.dot(v2.norm))
print(f'angle = {round(py5.degrees(angle))}°')
# angle = 45°
