NAME

       CURVP2 - interpolate a periodic function at a specified point

SYNOPSIS

       FUNCTION CURVP2 (T, N, X, Y, P, YP, SIGMA)

       This  function  interpolates  a  value at a specified point using a spline under tension.  CURVP1 must be
       called prior to calling CURVP2, and the values thus obtained used as input to CURVP2. CURVP2 returns  the
       interpolated function value at the X-coordinate specified.

DESCRIPTION

       T           (real, input) The abscissa for which an interpolated function value is desired.

       N           (integer, input) The number of input data values. (N > 1)

       X           (real, input) An array containing the abscissae for the input function.

       Y           (real,  input)  An  array  containing  the functional values of the input data -- Y(K) is the
                   functional value at X(K) for K=1,N.

       X           (real, input) The period of the function.

       YP          (real, input) Contains values for the second derivative (as calculated by CURV1).

       SIGMA       (real, input) Tension factor. Values near zero result in a cubic spline; large  values  (e.g.
                   50) result in nearly a polygonal line. A typical value is 1.

RETURN VALUE

       CURVP2 returns the interpolated value at the specified point T.

ACCESS

       To use CURVP2, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath.
