CSA2LS - cubic spline approximation, simple entry for
two-dimensional input, list output
CALL CSA2LS (NI, XI, UI, KNOTS, NO, XO, YO, UO, NWRK,
WORK, IER)
- NI
- (integer,input) The number of input data points. It must be that NI .gt. 3
and, depending on the size of KNOTS below, NI may have to be larger.
- XI
- (real, input) An array containing the X - Y coordinates of the input data
points. XI is dimensioned for 2 x NI. XI(1,L) is the X coordinate and
XI(2,L) is the Y coordinate for the input domain for L=1,NI.
- UI
- (real, input) An array dimensioned for NI containing function values at
the input XI values, that is UI(L) is the value of the input function at
the coordinate (XI(1,L),XI(2,L)) for L=1,NI.
- KNOTS
- (integer, input) The number of knots to be used in constructing the
approximation spline. KNOTS is dimensioned for 2 and provides the number
of knots to be used in the X and the Y directions. Both KNOTS(1) and
KNOTS(2) must be at least 4. The larger the values for KNOTS, the closer
the approximated curve will come to passing through the input function
values.
- NO
- (integer, input) The number of coordinate values in the output list. NO
can be any positive number.
- XO
- (real, input) An array dimensioned for NO containing the X coordinates of
the output list.
- YO
- (real, input) An array dimensioned for NO containing the Y coordinates of
the output list.
- UO
- (real, output) An array dimensioned for NO containing the calculated
function values for the output spline. UO(I) is the calculated functional
value at (XO(I),YO(I)) for I=1,NO.
- NWRK
- (integer, input) The size of the WORK array. NWRK must be at least
KNOTS(1)*KNOTS(2)*(KNOTS(1)*KNOTS(2)+3).
- WORK
- (real, input) A work array dimensioned for NWRK.
- 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
csagrid_errors for details.
CSA2LS is called to find an approximating cubic spline surface for
two-dimensional input data with output values calculated at a list of
user-specified points. If you want to weight the input data values,
calculate derivatives, or handle data sparse areas specially, then you will
need to use CSA2LXS.
To use CSA2LS, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath.
