There may be ways to adapt other boundary conditions and maintain rapid evaluation, but it is not trivial as far as I know. Standard spline-fitting allows multiple boundary conditions because matrix inversion is used. I think the spline-fitting done in ndimage relies on equal-spacing and mirror-symmetry to allow simple IIR filters to be used to compute the spline coefficients very rapidly.
This assumption would have to be re-visited for any changes to be made. -Travis _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
