Convert formula into coding form

Hi, i don't know how to convert formula into coding form. Example of formula

theta(kx, ky) = arctan(dy/dx)

Answer 1

The arguments to the function do not match the arguments to the arctangent function. Are ‘kx’ and ‘ky’ the same as ‘dx’ and ‘dy’ or different?

One of these should do what you want:

theta = @(kx, ky) atan2(ky,kx);                             % The Values (Or Vectors) Themselves

theta = @(kx, ky) atan2(gradient(ky),gradient(kx));         % The Derivatives Of The Vectors

The atan2 function puts the returned angles in the correct quadrants. The atan function does not.

(kx, ky) is a point. dy = In(kx,ky+1) - In(kx,ky-1) dx = In(kx+1,ky) - In(kx-1,ky)

[Star Strider]

My function then changes to:

theta = @(kx, ky) atan2(In(kx,ky+1) - In(kx,ky-1), In(kx+1,ky) - In(kx-1,ky));  % Directly Using ‘In’

That should work.

I'd strongly suggest that you start reading the getting started tutorials. This is a very basic question, although I honestly have no idea what it is that you really want to do here. If I had to guess, you need to learn how to write a function.

Using a four quadrant atan, this would do what you want.

theta = @(kx,ky) = atan2(ky,kx);

Or do this:

theta = @(kx,ky) = atan(ky/kx);

I agree with John on this: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/8026-best-way-s-to-master-matlab
