ncl_natgrid - Man Page

Natgrid is a package for gridding 2D randomly-spaced data using a natural neighbor algorithm. Single precison and double precision interfaces exist in both Fortran and C.

Synopsis

FORTRAN single precision
------------------------

NATGRIDS     -  primary function for gridding.
NNSETI       -  set INTEGER parameter values.
NNGETI       -  retrieve values for INTEGER parameters.
NNSETR       -  set REAL parameter values.
NNGETR       -  retrieve values for REAL parameters.
NNSETC       -  set CHARACTER valued parameters.
NNGETC       -  retrieve values for CHARACTER parameters.
NNGETSLOPES  -  get slope values, if calculated.
NNGETASPECTS -  get aspect values, if calculated.
NNPNTINITS   -  initiate single point mode.
NNPNTS       -  interpolate at a single point.
NNPNTEND     -  terminate single point mode.
