c_dsgrid3s(3NCARG)

NAME
c_dsgrid3s - primary single precision C entry for 3D gridding

FUNCTION PROTOTYPE
float  *c_dsgrid3s(int, float [], float [], float [], float [],
          int, int, int, float [], float [], float [], int *);

SYNOPSIS
float  *c_dsgrid3s(int n, float x[], float y[], float z[],
          float u[], int nx, int ny, int nz, float xo[],
          float yo[], float zo[], int *ier);

DESCRIPTION

n   The number of input data points.

x   An array containing the X coordinates of the input data points.

y   An array containing the Y coordinates of the input data points.

z   An array containing the Z coordinates of the input data points.

u   An array of size n containing the functional values of the input data points. That is, z[m] is the value of the input function at coordinate (x[m],y[m],z[m]), for 0 <= m < n.

nx  The number of X values in the output grid.

ny  The number of Y values in the output grid.

nz  The number of Z values in the output grid.

xo  An array of size nx containing the X coordinates of the output data grid. The values in xo must be increasing, but need not be equally spaced.

yo  An array of size ny containing the Y coordinates of the output data grid. The values in yo must be increasing, but need not be equally spaced.

zo  An array of size nz containing the Z coordinates of the output data grid. The values in zo must be increasing, but need not be equally spaced.

ier 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 dsgrid_errors.

USAGE
c_dsgrid3s returns a pointer to a linear array of data that is the interpolated grid stored in row-major order. That is, if out is declared as

float *out;

and we set:

  out = *c_dsgrid3s(n, x, y, z, u, nx, ny, nz,
            xo, yo, zo, ier);

then out[nz*ny*i + nz*j + k] is the interpolated function value at coordinate point (xo[i],yo[j],zo[k]) for 0 <= i < nx, 0 <= j < ny, and 0 <= k < nz. The space for out is allocated internal to c_dsgrid3s and is nx*ny*nz floats in size.

ACCESS
To use c_dsgrid3s, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath.
