CURVP1 must be called prior to calling CURVP2, and the values thus obtained used as input to CURVP2. CURVP2 returns the interpolated function value at the X-coordinate specified. .SH DESCRIPTION .IP T 12 (real, input) The abscissa for which an interpolated function value is desired. .IP N 12 (integer, input) The number of input data values. (N > 1) .IP X 12 (real, input) An array containing the abscissae for the input function. .IP Y 12 (real, input) An array containing the functional values of the input data -- Y(K) is the functional value at X(K) for K=1,N. .IP X 12 (real, input) The period of the function. .IP YP 12 (real, input) Contains values for the second derivative (as calculated by CURV1). .IP SIGMA 12 (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. .SH RETURN VALUE CURVP2 returns the interpolated value at the specified point T. .SH ACCESS To use CURVP2, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath. .SH SEE ALSO curvp1, fitgrid_params. .sp Complete documentation for Fitgrid is available at URL .br http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ngdoc/ng/ngmath/fitgrid/fithome.html .SH COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2000 .br University Corporation for Atmospheric Research .br The use of this Software is governed by a License Agreement.
