# interp2d

bicubic spline (2d) evaluation function

## Calling Sequence

    [zp[, dzpdx, dzpdy[, d2zpdxx, d2zpdxy, d2zpdyy]]]=interp2d(xp, yp, x, y, C [,out_mode])

## Arguments

xp

  a mx-by-my matrix of doubles, the `x` coordinates of the points where the spline is to be evaluated.

yp

  a mx-by-my matrix of doubles, the `y` coordinates of the points where the spline is to be evaluated.

x

  a 1-by-nx matrix of doubles, the `x` coordinate of the interpolation points. We must have x(i)<x(i+1), for i=1,2,...,nx-1.

y

  a 1-by-ny matrix of doubles, the `y` coordinate of the interpolation points. We must have y(i)<y(i+1), for i=1,2,...,ny-1.

C

  The coefficients of the bicubic spline. The input argument of the interp2d function is the output argument of the splin2d function.

out_mode

  a 1-by-1 matrix of strings, the evaluation of s outside the range [x(1),x(nx)] by [y(1),y(ny)].

zp

  a mx-by-my matrix of doubles, the evaluation of the `z` coordinate of the spline, i.e. zp(i,j)=s(xp(i,j),yp(i,j)), for i=1,2,...,mx and j = 1,2,...,my.

dzpdx

  a mx-by-my matrix of doubles, the first derivative of the spline with respect to `x`.

dzpdy

  a mx-by-my matrix of doubles, the first derivative of the spline with respect to `y`.

d2zpdxx

  a mx-by-my matrix of doubles, the second derivative of the spline with respect to `x`.

d2zpdxy

  a mx-by-my matrix of doubles, the second derivative of the spline with respect to `x` and `y`.

d2zpdyy

  a mx-by-my matrix of doubles, the second derivative of the spline with respect to `y`.

## Description

Given three vectors `(x,y,C)` defining a bicubic spline or sub-spline function (see splin2d) this function evaluates s (and ds/dx, ds/dy, d2s/dxx, d2s/dxy, d2s/dyy if needed) at (xp(i),yp(i)) :

The `out_mode` parameter defines the evaluation rule for extrapolation, i.e. for (xp(i),yp(i)) not in [x(1),x(nx)]x[y(1),y(ny)] :

"by_zero"

  an extrapolation by zero is done

"by_nan"

  extrapolation by Nan

"C0"

  the extrapolation is defined as follows :

      s(x,y) = s(proj(x,y)) where proj(x,y) is nearest point
                            of [x(1),x(nx)]x[y(1),y(ny)] from (x,y)

"natural"

  the extrapolation is done by using the nearest bicubic-patch from (x,y).

"periodic"

  `s` is extended by periodicity.
