CSA3LS - cubic spline approximation, simple entry for
three-dimensional input, list output
CALL CSA3LS (NI, XI, UI, KNOTS, NO, XO, YO, ZO, 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 - Z coordinates of the input
data points. XI is dimensioned for 3 x NI. XI(1,L) is the X coordinate,
XI(2,L) is the Y coordinate, and XI(3,L) is the Z 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
XI(L) for L=1,NI.
- KNOTS
- (integer, input) An array dimensioned for 3 containing the number of knots
to be used in each coordinate direction for constructing the approximation
spline. KNOTS(I) must be at least 4 for I=1,3. The larger the value 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.
- ZO
- (real, input) An array dimensioned for NO containing the Z 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),ZO(I)) for I=1,NO.
- NWRK
- (integer, input) The size of the WORK array. NWRK must be at least NK *
(NK+3) where NK = KNOTS(1) * KNOTS(2) * KNOTS(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.
CSA3LS is called to find an approximating cubic spline for
three-dimensional input data. If you want to weight the input data values,
calculate derivatives, or handle data sparse areas specially, then you will
need to use CSA3LXS.
To use CSA3LS, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath.
