%% R8VEC_EXPAND_LINEAR2 linearly interpolates new data into an R8VEC.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    An R8VEC is a vector of R8's.
%
%    This routine starts with a vector of data.
%
%    The intent is to "fatten" the data, that is, to insert more points
%    between successive values of the original data.
%
%    There will also be extra points placed BEFORE the first original
%    value and AFTER that last original value.
%
%    The "fattened" data is equally spaced between the original points.
%
%    The BEFORE data uses the spacing of the first original interval,
%    and the AFTER data uses the spacing of the last original interval.
%
%  Example:
%
%    N = 3
%    BEFORE = 3
%    FAT = 2
%    AFTER = 1
%
%    X    = (/                   0.0,           6.0,             7.0       /)
%    XFAT = (/ -6.0, -4.0, -2.0, 0.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 6.33, 6.66, 7.0, 7.66 /)

%
%  Parameters:
%
%    Input, integer N, the number of input data values.
%    N must be at least 2.
%
%    Input, real X(N), the original data.
%
%    Input, integer BEFORE, the number of "before" values.
%
%    Input, integer FAT, the number of data values to interpolate
%    between each pair of original data values.
%
%    Input, integer AFTER, the number of "after" values.
%
%    Output, real XFAT(BEFORE+(N-1)*(FAT+1)+1+AFTER), the "fattened" data.
%
  xfat = zeros ( before+(n-1)*(fat+1)+1+after, 1 );
