GRID_CUBE
GRID_CUBE
This task makes a cube from a table containing data regularly sampled
on a 2-d grid, but possibly uncompletely sampled. Several gridding
modes are possible.
In mode GRID, since the input data is assumed to be regularly sampled,
this gridding task does not use any convolution or interpolation,
but just fills a grid with values.
In mode NATURAL, a convolution kernel is used to interpolate the
irregularly sampled data using the weight of each individual point.
In mode UNIFORM, the same convolution process is used but the individual
points are assumed to have equal weight.
The grid step is specified by the user, but the map size can be
determined by the task. The input table can be created by command GRID
in CLASS, or using task TABLE from a formatted file.
