<h3 class="section">30.4 Interpolation on Scattered Data</h3>

<p>An important use of the Delaunay tessellation is that it can be used to
interpolate from scattered data to an arbitrary set of points.  To do
this the N-simplex of the known set of points is calculated with
<code>delaunay</code>, <code>delaunay3</code> or <code>delaunayn</code>.  Then the
simplices in to which the desired points are found are
identified.  Finally the vertices of the simplices are used to
interpolate to the desired points.  The functions that perform this
interpolation are <code>griddata</code>, <code>griddata3</code> and
<code>griddatan</code>.

<p>Generate a regular mesh from irregular data using interpolation.
The function is defined by <code><var>z</var> = f (<var>x</var>, <var>y</var>)</code>.
Inputs <code><var>x</var>, <var>y</var>, <var>z</var></code> are vectors of the same length
or <code><var>x</var>, <var>y</var></code> are vectors and <code><var>z</var></code> is matrix.
</p>
<p>The interpolation points are all <code>(<var>xi</var>, <var>yi</var>)</code>.  If
<var>xi</var>, <var>yi</var> are vectors then they are made into a 2-D mesh.
</p>
<p>The interpolation method can be <code>&quot;nearest&quot;</code>, <code>&quot;cubic&quot;</code> or
<code>&quot;linear&quot;</code>.  If method is omitted it defaults to <code>&quot;linear&quot;</code>.

<p>An example of the use of the <code>griddata</code> function is
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">rand (&quot;state&quot;, 1);
x = 2*rand (1000,1) - 1;
y = 2*rand (size (x)) - 1;
z = sin (2*(x.^2+y.^2));
[xx,yy] = meshgrid (linspace (-1,1,32));
griddata (x,y,z,xx,yy);
</pre></div>

<p>that interpolates from a random scattering of points, to a uniform
grid. 
The output of the above can be seen in <a href="#fig_003agriddata">Figure 30.6</a>.
