Hi, I have a proposal for a feature and I hope this is the right place to post this.
The idea is to have a function to map any input angle to the range of [ 0, 2*pi ] or [ - pi, pi ]. There already is a function called 'unwrap' that does the opposite, so I'd suggest calling this function 'wrap'. Example usage: # wrap to range [ 0, 2*pi ] >>> np.wrap([ -2*pi, -pi, 0, 4*pi ]) [0, pi, 0, 2*pi] There is some ambiguity regarding what the solution should be for the extremes. An example would be an input of 4*pi, as both 0 and 2*pi would be valid mappings. There has been interest for this topic in the community (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15927755/opposite-of-numpy-unwrap). Similar functions exist for Matlab (see https://de.mathworks.com/help/map/ref/wrapto2pi.html). They solved the ambiguity by mapping "positive multiples of 2*pi map to 2*pi and negative multiples of 2*pi map to 0." for the 0 to 2*pi case.
