IDL functions are generic. You can use any of the trigonometric functions with
either single or double precision arguments, and the precision of the result is
the same as the precision of the argument. (If you give them integer
arguments, you get a floating point result, which makes sense.) You can even
give them complex arguments and get a complex result.

The ATAN function in IDL can take either 1 or 2 arguments, so it fulfills the
role of both ATAN and ATAN2 in FORTRAN (as well as DATAN and DATAN2).
