It's currently unclear which axis the angle is measured from and in which direction the angle increases.

  /**
   * Get the direction of the vector formed by the joystick and its origin in radians.
   *
   * @return The direction of the vector in radians
   */
  public double getDirectionRadians() {
    return Math.atan2(getX(), -getY());
  }
