Ngl.natgrid

Uses a natural neighbor algorithm to interpolate 2-dimensional randomly spaced data.

Prototype

iarr = Ngl.natgrid(x, y, z, xo, yo)

Arguments

One-dimensional arrays of the X and Y coordinate points of the input data.

The one-dimensional input data to be interpolated, of the same length as x and y. Can be a NumPy float array or a Python list or tuple.

One-dimensional NumPy float arrays or Python lists (of length numxout and numyout) containing the coordinate points of the output data grid.

Return value

A 2-dimensional NumPy array of size numxout x numyout.

Description

This function uses a natural neighbor algorithm for interpolating 2-dimensional randomly spaced data. This function is a Python version of the similar function in the Natgrid package of the ngmath library.

The first two arguments of Ngl.natgrid are 1-dimensional NumPy float arrays or Python lists of the same size, containing the X and Y coordinates of the input data points. The third argument is another 1-dimensional float array, or Python list (of the same size as the X and Y arrays) containing the values of the input function. The last two arguments are 1-dimensional float arrays or Python lists containing the X and Y coordinates of the output data grid.

The procedure Ngl.nnsetp is used to set parameter values for Ngl.natgrid, and the function Ngl.nngetp is used to retrieve parameter values.
