// An azimuth is an angle between a vector/segment from origin to a point of
// interest and a reference vector. Typically north-based azimuth is used.
// North direction is used as a reference, angle is measured clockwise
// (North - 0deg, East - 90deg). For consistency in 2d cartesian CS
// the reference vector is Y axis, angle is measured clockwise.
