The following example performs bilinear interpolation on the unit square, using z values of (0,1,0.5,1) going clockwise around the square.
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <gsl/gsl_math.h> #include <gsl/gsl_interp2d.h> #include <gsl/gsl_spline2d.h> int main() { const gsl_interp2d_type *T = gsl_interp2d_bilinear; const size_t N = 100; /* number of points to interpolate */ const double xa[] = { 0.0, 1.0 }; /* define unit square */ const double ya[] = { 0.0, 1.0 }; const size_t nx = sizeof(xa) / sizeof(double); /* x grid points */ const size_t ny = sizeof(ya) / sizeof(double); /* y grid points */ double *za = malloc(nx * ny * sizeof(double)); gsl_spline2d *spline = gsl_spline2d_alloc(T, nx, ny); gsl_interp_accel *xacc = gsl_interp_accel_alloc(); gsl_interp_accel *yacc = gsl_interp_accel_alloc(); size_t i, j; /* set z grid values */ gsl_spline2d_set(spline, za, 0, 0, 0.0); gsl_spline2d_set(spline, za, 0, 1, 1.0); gsl_spline2d_set(spline, za, 1, 1, 0.5); gsl_spline2d_set(spline, za, 1, 0, 1.0); /* initialize interpolation */ gsl_spline2d_init(spline, xa, ya, za, nx, ny); /* interpolate N values in x and y and print out grid for plotting */ for (i = 0; i < N; ++i) { double xi = i / (N - 1.0); for (j = 0; j < N; ++j) { double yj = j / (N - 1.0); double zij = gsl_spline2d_eval(spline, xi, yj, xacc, yacc); printf("%f %f %f\n", xi, yj, zij); } printf("\n"); } gsl_spline2d_free(spline); gsl_interp_accel_free(xacc); gsl_interp_accel_free(yacc); free(za); return 0; }
The results of the interpolation are shown in the following plot, where the corners are labeled with their fixed z values.
