NAME

6       KURVP1 - calculate values for KURVP2 usage
7

SYNOPSIS

9       CALL KURVP1 (N, X, Y, XP, YP, TEMP, S, SIGMA, IER)
10
11       This  subroutine  calculates  certain values that are used by KURVP2 in
12       order to compute  an  interpolatory  spline  under  tension  through  a
13       sequence  of  points  in the plane that form a closed curve. The actual
14       computation of the interpolated values must be done using KURVP2 .

DESCRIPTION

17       N           (integer,input) The number of input data points. (N > 1)
18
19       X           (real,input) An  array  containing  the  X  values  of  the
20                   points.
21
22       Y           (real,input)  An  array  containing  the  Y  values  of the
23                   points. Adjacent pairs of points must be distinct.
24
25       XP          (real,output) An array of length N.
26
27       YP          (real,output) An array of length N.
28
29       TEMP        (real,input) Scratch space.
30
31       S           (real,output) An array of length N (this will  be  used  to
32                   pass to KURVP2).
33
34       SIGMA       (real,input)  Tension  factor. Values near zero result in a
35                   cubic spline; large values (e.g. 50)  result  in  nearly  a
36                   polygonal line. A typical value is 1.
37
38       IER         (integer,output)  An error return value. If IER is returned
39                   as 0, then no errors were detected.
40
41                   = 1 if N is less than 2.
42                   = 2 if a pair of adjacent points coincide.
43
