bsplin3val

Arguments

xp, yp, zp

real vectors or matrices of same size

tl

tlist of type "splin3d", defining a 3d tensor spline (called s in the following)

der

vector with 3 components [ox,oy,oz] defining which derivative of s to compute.

dfp

vector or matrix of same format than xp, yp and zp, elementwise evaluation of the specified derivative of s on these points.

Description

While the function interp3d may compute only the spline s and its first derivatives, bsplin3val may compute any derivative of s. The derivative to compute is specified by the argument der=[ox,oy,oz] :

So der=[0 0 0] corresponds to s, der=[1 0 0] to ds/dx, der=[0 1 0] to ds/dy, der=[1 1 0] to d2s/dxdy, etc...

For a point with coordinates (xp(i),yp(i),zp(i)) outside the grid, the function returns 0.

Examples

deff("v=f(x,y,z)","v=cos(x).*sin(y).*cos(z)");
deff("v=fx(x,y,z)","v=-sin(x).*sin(y).*cos(z)");
deff("v=fxy(x,y,z)","v=-sin(x).*cos(y).*cos(z)");
deff("v=fxyz(x,y,z)","v=sin(x).*cos(y).*sin(z)");
deff("v=fxxyz(x,y,z)","v=cos(x).*cos(y).*sin(z)");
