This is the only solution (0) where atan2 return sometime else than pi/4. And INF is not 0, it can be lot of values, but not zero. Yes x=INF and y=INF do not mean x=y (in math world) but INF is a frontier that can be reach, so it tend to the maximum value. So the tendancy is always atan2(y,x) tend to pi/4 if you looks at lot od y and x that will be grater and greater each time : the final frontier would always be pi/4, even if t take a long time to reach it. -- Pierre-Alain Dorange <http://microwar.sourceforge.net/> Ce message est sous licence Creative Commons "by-nc-sa-2.0" <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/fr/> -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
