Csagrid(3NCARG)

NAME
csagrid - cubic spline approximation

DESCRIPTION
Csagrid is a software package in the ngmath library that implements a cubic spline approximation algorithm to fit a function to input data. The input for the approximation is a set of randomly-spaced data. These data may be one-dimensional, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional.

The output is a set of values at coordinates on a user-specified grid, or at a set of user-specified points (including at a single point).

Functionally equivalent Fortran, C, and NCL interfaces are provided.

Csagrid is based on the work of David Fulker and his package Splpack.
