NAME

       Natgrid -  a package for gridding 2D randomly-spaced data using a natural neighbor
       algorithm.  Single precison and double precision interfaces exist in both Fortran and C.

        NNSETI       -  set INTEGER parameter values.
        NNGETI       -  retrieve values for INTEGER parameters.
        NNSETR       -  set REAL parameter values.
        NNGETR       -  retrieve values for REAL parameters.
        NNSETC       -  set CHARACTER valued parameters.
        NNGETC       -  retrieve values for CHARACTER parameters.
        NNGETSLOPES  -  get slope values, if calculated.
        NNGETASPECTS -  get aspect values, if calculated.
        NNPNTINITS   -  initiate single point mode.
