%% ANGLE_RAD_2D returns the angle swept out between two rays in 2D.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    Except for the zero angle case, it should be true that
%
%      ANGLE_RAD_2D(P1,P2,P3) + ANGLE_RAD_2D(P3,P2,P1) = 2 * PI

%
%  Parameters:
%
%    Input, real P1(2), P2(2), P3(2), define the rays
%    P1 - P2 and P3 - P2 which in turn define the angle.
%
%    Output, real VALUE, the angle swept out by the rays, measured
%    in radians.  0 <= VALUE < 2*PI.  If either ray has zero length,
%    then VALUE is set to 0.
%
  p(1) = ( p3(1) - p2(1) ) * ( p1(1) - p2(1) ) ...
       + ( p3(2) - p2(2) ) * ( p1(2) - p2(2) );

  p(2) = ( p3(1) - p2(1) ) * ( p1(2) - p2(2) ) ...
       - ( p3(2) - p2(2) ) * ( p1(1) - p2(1) );

  if ( p(1) == 0.0 & p(2) == 0.0 )
    value = 0.0;
    return
  end

  value = atan2 ( p(2), p(1) );
