Parameters

Description

This function computes a 3d tensor spline s which interpolates the (xi,yj,zk,vijk) points, ie, we have s(xi,yj,zk)=vijk for all i=1,..,nx, j=1,..,ny and k=1,..,nz. The resulting spline s is defined by tl which consists in a B-spline-tensor representation of s. The evaluation of s at some points must be done by the interp3d function (to compute s and its first derivatives) or by the bsplin3val function (to compute an arbitrary derivative of s) . Several kind of splines may be computed by selecting the order of the spline in each direction order=[kx,ky,kz].

Remark

This function works under the conditions:

an error being issued when they are not respected.

Examples

 
// example 1
// =============================================================================

func =  "v=cos(2*%pi*x).*sin(2*%pi*y).*cos(2*%pi*z)";
deff("v=f(x,y,z)",func);
n = 10;  // n x n x n  interpolation points
x = linspace(0,1,n); y=x; z=x; // interpolation grid
[X,Y,Z] = ndgrid(x,y,z);
V = f(X,Y,Z);
tl = splin3d(x,y,z,V,[5 5 5]);
m = 10000;
// compute an approximated error
xp = grand(m,1,"def"); yp = grand(m,1,"def"); zp = grand(m,1,"def");
vp_exact = f(xp,yp,zp);
vp_interp = interp3d(xp,yp,zp, tl);
er = max(abs(vp_exact - vp_interp))
// now retry with n=20 and see the error

// example 2 (see linear_interpn help page which have the
//            same example with trilinear interpolation)
