## Inputs

### DataType

Parameter ID: `DATATYPE`

Here you can select the file format for the inputs and the Result output. For vector information, the angle calculation will be made for each component separately. For a 3D vector, three different angles will be output.

### Vector 1

Parameter ID: `IN1` · Range: [XYZ ]

### Vector 2

Parameter ID: `IN2` · Range: [XYZ ]

Here you can input the coordinates of a given position. A direction will be ascertained between the origin of the coordinate system and the position. The angle between this direction and the positive X axis will be ascertained as a Result and output as radians. If vector data types are used as inputs, this calculation will take place repeatedly, a separate one for each vector component.
