Constructor Detail

LinearInterpolator

public LinearInterpolator(double[] values,
                          double start,
                          double step)

Creates a new instance of Interpolator.

Parameters:

values - is the array of values at fixed intervals.

start - is the start of the domain of points and corresponds to the first array element

step - is the step in the domain for each successive element in the array

Method Detail

calcValueAt

public double calcValueAt(double point)
                   throws java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

Calculate the interpolated value at the specified point in the domain. The point must reside within the domain of points from start to start + step * values.length.

Parameters:

point - The point in the domain for which we should interpolate the value.

Returns:

The interpolated value.

Throws:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the point does not fall int the accepted domain
