PWL_INTERP_2D
Piecewise Linear Interpolation in 2D for Gridded Data

PWL_INTERP_2D is a MATLAB library which evaluates a piecewise linear interpolant of data depending on a 2D argument, defined on on a product grid, so that p(x(i),y(j)) = z(i,j).

PWL_INTERP_2D requires the R8LIB library. The test code requires the TEST_INTERP_2D library.
