Alan, Yes, I am calling it many times at the same angular location, but it's tough to know you're at the same angular location without calculating the angle.
Also, C++ is definitely orders of magnitude quicker, but once I have to compile routines into Paravew life gets very complicated. We barely survived compiling for cluster use and I haven't written C++ for at least 20 years. So, if possible, I would like a clever external add-on that wouldn't require us to re-compile PV everytime we update our version. I have visions of library errors in my nightmares!

Please think before clicking on any links or attachments. Are there places on the cylinder you are calling atan2 with the same inputs, returning the same data, lots of times? Alternatively, could you calculate this in the simulation, and just add it to the simulation output? I am speculating that a C++ call to atan2 may be faster than numpy?

Thanks for any hints Dennis
