An angle between $[0, 360°[$ or $[0, 2\pi[$ is called a normalized angle. But how is called one expressed between $[-180, 180°[$ or $[-\pi, \pi[$?

For a computational calculation, I need to express my resulting angles between $[-\pi, \pi[$.

I am in search of an API easing me reaching this expression, when it happens that my results are outside this interval.
But I don't know what term querying over search engines for such presentation of an angle result.

I know that an angle expressed between $[0, 360°[$ or $[0, 2\pi[$ is called a normalized angle.

But how is called an angle expressed between $[-180, 180°[$ or $[-\pi, \pi[$?
Thanks!

If you need to name the type of normalization, I would suggest calling the one you consider standard positive normalization and the one you are seeking to name balanced normalization. Usually, authors just choose one type and stick to it throughout any given piece of work. Because of this, there is not enough usage for accepted distinguishing terms to arise.
