pwl_interp_2d_scattered


pwl_interp_2d_scattered, a MATLAB code which produces a piecewise linear interpolant to 2D scattered data, that is, data that is not guaranteed to lie on a regular grid.

This program computes a Delaunay triangulation of the data points, and then constructs an interpolant triangle by triangle. Over a given triangle, the interpolant is the linear function which matches the data already given at the vertices of the triangle.

PWL_INTERP_2D requires the R8LIB library. The test code requires the TEST_INTERP_2D library.
