CALL NATGRIDS (NPNTS, X, Y, Z, NUMXOUT, NUMYOUT, XI, YI, ZI, IER)

NPNTS

(Integer, Input) - The number of input data points. (NPNTS > 3).

X

(Real, Input) - An array containing the X coordinates of the input data  points.

Y

(Real, Input) - An array containing the Y coordinates of the input data  points.

Z

(Real, Input) - An array containing the functional values of the  input data points. That is, Z(L) is the value of the input function at  coordinate (X(L),Y(L)), for L=1,NPNTS.

NUMXOUT

(Integer, Input) - The number of X values in the output grid.

NUMYOUT

(Integer, Input) - The number of Y values in the output grid.

XI

(Real, Input) - An array of dimension NUMXOUT containing the X  coordinates of the output data grid. The values in XI must be  increasing, but need not be equally spaced.

YI

(Real, Input) - An array of dimension NUMYOUT containing the Y  coordinates of the output data grid. The values in YI must be  increasing, but need not be equally spaced.

ZI

(Real, Output) -  A two-dimensional array of dimension NUMXOUT x NUMYOUT containing the interpolated functional values. ZI(I,J) is the interpolated value at grid point (XI(I),YI(J)).

IER

(Integer, Output) - An error return value. If IER is returned as 0, then no errors were detected. If IER is non-zero, then refer to the man page for natgrid_errors for details.

NATGRIDS is the single precision gridding function in the Natgrid package. The behavior of NATGRIDS is controlled by values set for the various parameters described in natgrid_params.  Values for these parameters can be set using the subroutines NNSETI, NNSETR, and NNSETC.

To use NATGRIDS, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath.

natgrid, natgrid_params,  nnseti,  nngeti,  nnsetr,  nngetr,  nnsetc,  nngetc.
