SAMPLEXZ

SAMPLEXZ(DAT_TO_SAMPLE,XPTS,ZPTS) Returns data sampled at a set of (X,Z) points, using linear interpolation.

Arguments:

DAT_TO_SAMPLE

Data to sample

 

XPTS

X values of sample points

 

ZPTS

Z values of sample points

Result Axes:

X

ABSTRACT; length same as XPTSand YPTS

 

Y

Inherited from DAT_TO_SAMPLE

 

Z

NORMAL (no axis)

 

T

Inherited from DAT_TO_SAMPLE

Note:

SAMPLEXZ is a "grid-changing" function; its output grid is different from the input arguments. Therefore it is best to use explicit limits on the first argument rather than a a SET REGION command. See the discussion of grid-changing functions.
