Direct way of computing clockwise angle between 2 vectors

2D case Just like the dot product is proportional to the cosine of the angle, the determinant is proprortional to its sine. So you can compute the angle like this: The orientation of this angle matches that of the coordinate system. In a left-handed coordinate system, i.e. x pointing right and y down as is … Read more
