Parameters

x

Type: SystemDouble
The independent variable for which the dependent variables will be interpolated.

xTable

Type: SystemDouble
The array of independent variables to use to interpolate. The values in this array must be in increasing order and the same value must not occur twice in the array.

yTable

Type: SystemDouble
The array of dependent variables to use to interpolate. There can be multiple values corresponding to each independent values in xTable. For a set of three dependent values (p,q,w) and their derivatives (dp, dq, dw) at time 1 and time 2 this should be as follows: {p1, q1, w1, dp1, dq1, dw1, p2, q2, w2, dp2, dq2, dw2}.

yStride

Type: SystemInt32
The number of dependent variable values in yTable corresponding to each independent variable value in xTable. If inputOrder is greater than 0, this is also the number of first derivative values, second derivative values, etc. corresponding to each value in xTable.

inputOrder

Type: SystemInt32
The number of dependent variable derivatives in yTable. If this value is 0, the yTable is assumed to contain only dependent variable values, with each yStride of them corresponding to a single independent variable in the xTable. If this value is 1, the yTable is assumed to contain not only the dependent variable values but also their derivatives. There are yStride dependent variable values followed by yStride dependent variable first derivatives corresponding to each independent variable value in xTable. Similarly if this value is 2, the yTable contains dependent values, first derivatives, and second derivatives.

outputOrder

Type: SystemInt32
The number of derivatives to return. To return just the dependent variable values, pass 0 for this parameter. To return the first derivatives along with the dependent variable values, pass 1. A Lagrange polynomial has length-1 non-zero derivatives. This algorithm bases the derivation off of the highest input order, so, for example, if you passed in an inputOrder of 2 and a length of 4, the output from zeroth order to fifth order would be nonzero.

startIndex

Type: SystemInt32
The index in xTable of the first value to use in the interpolation. The index of the first value in yTable to use is calculated as: startIndex * yStride * (inputOrder + 1)

length

Type: SystemInt32
The number of values to use in the interpolation. This value should be one more than the desired interpolation degree. For example for 7th degree interpolation, this parameter should be 8.
