The user provides a grid, in the same manner as the Construct module with origin, deltas, counts. The module simple goes through the scattered data set and puts the data value on the closest grid point. If more than 2 points share a grid point then the average value is taken.
The module does not provide much benefit if there are much fewer scattered points than number of grid points. But I have seen several data sets where the number of scattered points is rather large, around the number of grid points or more. In some case the scattered data points were actually originally defined on a grid. Those people get frustrated with the time it takes to run Regrid or Connect. This is just quick method of getting scattered data onto a grid. Jeff On Wed, 10 Jan 2001, Gregory D Abram wrote: > > Sounds like a good idea. > > I guess I don't understand what the module does.
