[def __this_function__ azimuth]
[heading_conformance_no_ogc __this_function__]
[note PostGIS contains an algorithm ST_Azimuth with the same functionality but could return different
results e.g. result normalized to range 0 to pi instead of range -pi to pi.
See the [@https://postgis.net/docs/ST_Azimuth.html PostGIS documentation].
]
[heading Behavior]
The algorithm calculates the azimuth of a segment defined by a pair of points.
[note The result is in the range -pi to pi radians.]
