SYNOPSIS

IDBVIP

Produces interpolated values at points (XI(I), YI(I)), I=1,...,NIP. This is useful for filling in missing data points on a grid.

IDSFFT

Performs smooth surface fitting when the projections of the data points in the X-Y plane are irregularly distributed in the plane.

IDPLTR

Plots the triangulation of the data points.

IDGETI

Retrieves the integer value of a Bivar parameter.

IDGETR

Retrieves the real value of a Bivar parameter.

IDSETI

Provides a new integer value for a Bivar parameter.

IDSETR

Provides a new real value for a Bivar parameter.

C-BINDING SYNOPSIS

c_idbvip,
c_idsfft
c_idpltr
c_idgeti
c_idgetr
c_idseti
c_idsetr

EXAMPLES

See the example "cbex01".

ACCESS

To use the Bivar Fortran or C routines, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in that order.

MESSAGES

When error conditions are detected, the support routine SETER is called. By default, SETER writes a message to the standard error file (as defined by I1MACH(4)) and then terminates execution. It is possible to put SETER into recovery mode and regain control after a recoverable error (which includes all of the possible errors).

The possible error messages are listed below. All errors are recoverable in the sense that a user program which has called ENTSR to set recovery mode will get control back after one of these errors occurs.

IDBVIP (BIVAR) - UNCLEARED PRIOR ERROR

IDBVIP (BIVAR) - INPUT VARIABLE MD IS OUT OF RANGE

IDBVIP (BIVAR) - INPUT VARIABLE NDP IS OUT OF RANGE

IDBVIP (BIVAR) - INPUT VARIABLE NIP IS OUT OF RANGE

IDBVIP (BIVAR) - MD = 2 OR 3 BUT NDP WAS CHANGED SINCE LAST CALL

IDBVIP (BIVAR) - MD = 3 BUT ITY WAS CHANGED SINCE LAST CALL

IDBVIP (BIVAR) - MD = 3 BUT NIP WAS CHANGED SINCE LAST CALL

IDGETI (BIVAR) - UNCLEARED PRIOR ERROR

IDGETR (BIVAR) - UNCLEARED PRIOR ERROR

IDTANG (BIVAR) - ALL COLLINEAR DATA POINTS

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Bivar was written by Hiroshi Akima in August 1975 and rewritten by him in late 1976. In 1989, a new version of Bivar, incorporating changes described in a Rocky Mountain Journal of Mathematics was obtained from Dr. Akima, and included in NCAR Graphics with his permission. In 1995, Dave Kennison incorporated the capability of doing linear interpolation and a different kind of triangulation, put in a parameter access interface, and wrote a routine to allow the triangulation to be plotted.
