numpy.angle#

numpy.angle(z, deg=False)[source]#

Return the angle of the complex argument.

Parameters
zarray_like

A complex number or sequence of complex numbers.

degbool, optional

Return angle in degrees if True, radians if False (default).

Returns
anglendarray or scalar

The counterclockwise angle from the positive real axis on the complex plane in the range (-pi, pi], with dtype as numpy.float64.

Changed in version 1.16.0: This function works on subclasses of ndarray like ma.array.

Notes

Although the angle of the complex number 0 is undefined, numpy.angle(0) returns the value 0.

Examples

>>> np.angle([1.0, 1.0j, 1+1j])               # in radians
array([ 0.        ,  1.57079633,  0.78539816]) # may vary
>>> np.angle(1+1j, deg=True)                  # in degrees
