barylag2d: 2-D Barycentric Lagrange Interpolation

In pracma: Practical Numerical Math Functions

2-D Barycentric Lagrange Interpolation

Description

Two-dimensional barycentric Lagrange interpolation.

Usage

barylag2d(F, xn, yn, xf, yf)

Arguments

F	matrix representing values of a function in two dimensions.
xn, yn	x- and y-coordinates of supporting nodes.
xf, yf	x- and y-coordinates of an interpolating grid..

Details

Well-known Lagrange interpolation using barycentric coordinates, here extended to two dimensions. The function is completely vectorized.

x-coordinates run downwards in F, y-coordinates to the right. That conforms to the usage in image or contour plots, see the example below.

Value

Matrix of size length(xf)-by-length(yf) giving the interpolated values at al the grid points (xf, yf).
