man c_dsgrid3d (3): primary double precision C entry for 3D gridding

FUNCTION PROTOTYPE

double  *c_dsgrid3d(int, double [], double [], double [], double [],


          int, int, int, double [], double [], double [], int *);

SYNOPSIS

double *c_dsgrid3d(int n, double x[], double y[], double z[],
double u[], int nx, int ny, int nz, double xo[],
double yo[], double 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_dsgrid3d 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

double *out;

and we set:

out = *c_dsgrid3d(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_dsgrid3d and is nx*ny*nz doubles in size.

ACCESS

To use c_dsgrid3d, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath.
