<h3 class="section">29.2 Multi-dimensional Interpolation</h3>
<p>There are three multi-dimensional interpolation functions in Octave, with
similar capabilities. Methods using Delaunay tessellation are described
in <a href="Interpolation-on-Scattered-Data.html#Interpolation-on-Scattered-Data">Interpolation on Scattered Data</a>.

<p>Two-dimensional interpolation. <var>x</var>, <var>y</var> and <var>z</var> describe a
surface function. If <var>x</var> and <var>y</var> are vectors their length
must correspondent to the size of <var>z</var>. <var>x</var> and <var>y</var> must be
monotonic. If they are matrices they must have the <code>meshgrid</code>
format.

matrices <var>xi</var>, <var>yi</var>.
</p>
<p>If the last argument is a string, the interpolation method can
be specified. The method can be <code>"linear"</code>, <code>"nearest"</code> or
<code>"cubic"</code>. If it is omitted <code>"linear"</code> interpolation is
assumed.

<dt><code>interp2 (<var>z</var>, <var>n</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><p>Interleaves the matrix <var>z</var> n-times. If <var>n</var> is omitted a value
of <code><var>n</var> = 1</code> is assumed.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>The variable <var>method</var> defines the method to use for the
interpolation. It can take one of the following values
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>"nearest"</code></dt>
<dd><p>Return the nearest neighbor.

<dt><code>"cubic"</code></dt>
<dd><p>Cubic interpolation from four nearest neighbors.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>"spline"</code></dt>
<dd><p>Cubic spline interpolation—smooth first and second derivatives
throughout the curve.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>If a scalar value <var>extrapval</var> is defined as the final value, then
values outside the mesh as set to this value. Note that in this case
<var>method</var> must be defined as well. If <var>extrapval</var> is not
defined then NA is assumed.

<p>Perform 3-dimensional interpolation. Each element of the 3-dimensional
array <var>v</var> represents a value at a location given by the parameters
<var>x</var>, <var>y</var>, and <var>z</var>. The parameters <var>x</var>, <var>x</var>, and

<var>v</var> in the <code>"meshgrid"</code> format or vectors. The parameters
<var>xi</var>, etc. respect a similar format to <var>x</var>, etc., and they
represent the points at which the array <var>vi</var> is interpolated.

<p>If <var>x</var>, <var>y</var>, <var>z</var> are omitted, they are assumed to be
<code>x = 1 : size (<var>v</var>, 2)</code>, <code>y = 1 : size (<var>v</var>, 1)</code> and
<code>z = 1 : size (<var>v</var>, 3)</code>. If <var>m</var> is specified, then
the interpolation adds a point half way between each of the interpolation
points. This process is performed <var>m</var> times. If only <var>v</var> is
specified, then <var>m</var> is assumed to be <code>1</code>.

<p>A significant difference between <code>interpn</code> and the other two
multi-dimensional interpolation functions is the fashion in which the
dimensions are treated. For <code>interp2</code> and <code>interp3</code>, the y-axis is
considered to be the columns of the matrix, whereas the x-axis corresponds to
the rows of the array. As Octave indexes arrays in column major order, the
first dimension of any array is the columns, and so <code>interpn</code> effectively
reverses the ’x’ and ’y’ dimensions. Consider the example,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">x = y = z = -1:1;
f = @(x,y,z) x.^2 - y - z.^2;
[xx, yy, zz] = meshgrid (x, y, z);
v = f (xx,yy,zz);
xi = yi = zi = -1:0.1:1;
[xxi, yyi, zzi] = meshgrid (xi, yi, zi);
vi = interp3 (x, y, z, v, xxi, yyi, zzi, "spline");
[xxi, yyi, zzi] = ndgrid (xi, yi, zi);
vi2 = interpn (x, y, z, v, xxi, yyi, zzi, "spline");
mesh (zi, yi, squeeze (vi2(1,:,:)));
</pre></div>
<p>where <code>vi</code> and <code>vi2</code> are identical. The reversal of the
dimensions is treated in the <code>meshgrid</code> and <code>ndgrid</code> functions
respectively.
The result of this code can be seen in <a href="#fig_003ainterpn">Figure 29.4</a>.

<div class="float-caption"><p><strong>Figure 29.4: </strong>Demonstration of the use of <code>interpn</code></p></div></div>
<p>In additional the support function <code>bicubic</code> that underlies the
cubic interpolation of <code>interp2</code> function can be called directly.
</p>
<a name="XREFbicubic"></a><dl>
<dt><a name="index-bicubic"></a>Function File: <em><var>zi</var> =</em> <strong>bicubic</strong> <em>(<var>x</var>, <var>y</var>, <var>z</var>, <var>xi</var>, <var>yi</var>, <var>extrapval</var>)</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>Return a matrix <var>zi</var> corresponding to the bicubic
interpolations at <var>xi</var> and <var>yi</var> of the data supplied
as <var>x</var>, <var>y</var> and <var>z</var>. Points outside the grid are set
to <var>extrapval</var>.
