How can I convert x-y-data in a 2D plot to a range of 0..360 degrees?

How can I convert x-y-data in a 2D plot to to a range of 0..360 degrees? I don't want to have polar coordinates, but simply an angle between 0 and 360 degrees.

There is no special MATLAB function available to do this. Maybe the following example can help:

function a = angle(x,y)

len = length(x);

for i = 1:len

          if atan2(y(i),x(i))>=0

                a(i) = (180/pi) * atan2(y(i),x(i));

          else

                 a(i) = (180/pi) * (atan2(y(i),x(i))+2*pi);

           end

end
