Turtle, Observer, Patch

towards xcor ycor

Parameters:
xcor Number X coordinate on the screen
ycor Number Y coordinate on the screen

Description:
Returns the angle from the caller's xcor and ycor to the specified absolute position specified by xcor and ycor.

Examples:
towards 1 1 returns 45 when run by a turtle at (0, 0).

towards 1000 1000 returns 225 when run by a turtle at (0, 0) and the screen-width and screen-height are both 101.

Notes:
The observer is considered to be located at (0, 0).

The StarLogo world wraps, so if you want to know the angle to an xcor and ycor that are off the screen, they will be modded by screen-width and screen-height until they point to a position within the screen and that angle returned. Thus if you want to see the direction towards (1000, 1000) it might just be off to the lower left of you instead of the upper right.
