A little off topic, but it is a programming question;-) I have a set of thermocouples that are located a "convenient" locations on the back of a mirror. I need to form a contour plot of the temperature distribution so that non-uniformities can be analyzed. All of the contour plot routines I have found expect a rectangular matrix of values. How would one "interpolate" from the 24 thermocouples to a 256x256 grid? Thanks for any suggestions. don -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- | Don Fisher [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | MMT Observatory VOICE: (520)621-7647 | | University of Arizona FAX: (520)670-5740 | | Tucson, AZ 85721 | -------------------------------------------------------------------
