NAME

6       SURF2 - 2D interpolation for gridded data
7

SYNOPSIS

9       FUNCTION SURF2 (XX, YY, M, N, X, Y, Z, IZ, ZP, SIGMA)
10
11       This  function  interpolates  a surface value at a specified coordinate
12       using bi-splines under tension. SURF1 must be  called  before  invoking
13       SURF2.  The  desired interpolated value is returned as the value of the
14       function.

DESCRIPTION

17       XX          (real, input) Contains the X coordinate of a  point  to  be
18                   mapped onto the interpolated surface.
19
20       YY          (real,  input)  Contains  the Y coordinate of a point to be
21                   mapped onto the interpolated surface.
22
23       M           (integer, input) The number of grid lines in the  X  direc‐
24                   tion. (M > 1)
25
26       N           (integer,  input)  The number of grid lines in the Y direc‐
27                   tion. (N > 1)
28
29       X           (real, input) An array containing M X coordinates for  grid
30                   lines  in  the  X  direction. These values must be strictly
31                   increasing.
32
33       Y           (real, input) An array containing N Y coordinates for  grid
34                   lines  in  the  Y  direction. These values must be strictly
35                   increasing.
36
37       Z           (real, input) An array containing M x N  functional  values
38                   at the grid points; Z(I,J) contains the functional value at
39                   (X(I),Y(J)) for I=1,M and J=1,N.
40
41       IZ          (integer, input) The row dimension of the matrix Z  (IZ  is
42                   greater than or equal to M).
43
44       ZP          (real, input) An array of size M x N x 3.
45
46       SIGMA       (real,  input) Tension factor. Values near zero result in a
47                   cubic spline; large values (e.g. 50)  result  in  nearly  a
48                   polygonal line. A typical value is 1.

RETURN VALUE

51       SURF2 returns the interpolated value at the specified point T.
