profitInterp2d: 2D image interpolation

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

A low level routine to interpolate a 2D image matrix at an arbitrary x/y pixel location. This function is unlikely to be used by the user, but it used internally to ensure that point sources defined by empirical point spread functions (PSFs) are accurately generated on an image.

1	profitInterp2d(x, y, image)

`x`	The x position at which to make the interpolation with respect to the x centre of image.
`y`	The x position at which to make the interpolation with respect to the x centre of image.
`image`	The image matrix to be used for the interpolation.

In practice this is a low level routine unlikely to be used by the user. profitMakePointSource should be used to generate point sources and PSFs.

For this function (and really, it is for user ease when interpolating a PSF) [0,0] is always the R image centre of the input image. This means it would be at the usual [1.5,2] position of a 3x4 image matrix.

Matrix; a three column matrix where column 1 is the requested x interpolation locations, column 2 is the requested y interpolation locations and column 3 is the interpolated values.
