NAME¶
CURVPI - integrate a periodic spline curve
SYNOPSIS¶
FUNCTION CURVPI (XL, XU, N, X, Y, P, YP, SIGMA)
This function calculates an integral between two specified limits. CURVP1 must
be called prior to calling CURVPI, and the values thus obtained used as input
to CURVPI. The value of the integral is returned.
DESCRIPTION¶
- XL
- (real, input) The lower limit of the integration.
- XR
- (real, input) The upper limit of the integration.
- N
- (real, input) The number of input data values. (N > 1)
- X
- (real, input) An array containing the abscissae for the input
function.
- Y
- (real, input) An array containing the functional values of the input
function -- Y(K) is the (real, input) functional value at X(K) for
K=1,N.
- P
- (real, input) The period of the function.
- YP
- (real, input) Contains values for the second derivative (as calculated by
CURV1).
- SIGMA
- (real, input) Tension factor. Values near zero result in a cubic spline;
large values (e.g. 50) result in nearly a polygonal line. A typical value
is 1.
RETURN VALUE¶
CURVPI returns the integral of the interpolated curve between the specified
limits.
ACCESS¶
To use CURVPI, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath.
