TOMS526
Bivariate interpolation of scattered data


TOMS526 is a FORTRAN77 library which interpolates scattered bivariate data, by Hiroshi Akima.

TOMS526 accepts a set of (X,Y) data points scattered in 2D, with associated Z data values, and is able to construct a smooth interpolation function Z(X,Y), which agrees with the given data, and can be evaluated at other points in the plane.

TOMS526 is ACM TOMS Algorithm 526.

The original, true, correct version of ACM TOMS 526 is available in the TOMS subdirectory of the NETLIB web site.

Languages:

TOMS526 is available in a FORTRAN77 version and a FORTRAN90 version.
