FINTERP: Multidimensional Linear Interpolation with Modern Fortran

Status

Description

Can be used to perform multidimensional (1D-6D) linear interpolation of data on a regular grid. The code is written in modern Fortran (2003/2008) and is object-oriented and thread safe.

Usage

There are six classes (linear_interp_1d, linear_interp_2d, linear_interp_3d, linear_interp_4d, linear_interp_5d, and linear_interp_6d). Each has three methods: initialize, evaluate, and destroy.

real(wp) :: x(nx),y(ny),z(nz),q(nq),r(nr),s(ns)
real(wp) :: fcn_1d(nx)
real(wp) :: fcn_2d(nx,ny)
real(wp) :: fcn_3d(nx,ny,nz)
real(wp) :: fcn_4d(nx,ny,nz,nq)
real(wp) :: fcn_5d(nx,ny,nz,nq,nr)
real(wp) :: fcn_6d(nx,ny,nz,nq,nr,ns)
real(wp) :: xval,yval,zval,qval,rval,sval,fval
integer :: iflag

type(linear_interp_1d) :: s1
type(linear_interp_2d) :: s2
type(linear_interp_3d) :: s3
type(linear_interp_4d) :: s4
type(linear_interp_5d) :: s5
type(linear_interp_6d) :: s6

!populate the arrays
!...

!initialize the class:
call s1%initialize(x,fcn_1d,iflag)
call s2%initialize(x,y,fcn_2d,iflag)
call s3%initialize(x,y,z,fcn_3d,iflag)
call s4%initialize(x,y,z,q,fcn_4d,iflag)
call s5%initialize(x,y,z,q,r,fcn_5d,iflag)
call s6%initialize(x,y,z,q,r,s,fcn_6d,iflag)

!interpolate:
call s1%evaluate(xval,fval)
call s2%evaluate(xval,yval,fval)
call s3%evaluate(xval,yval,zval,fval)
call s4%evaluate(xval,yval,zval,qval,fval)
call s5%evaluate(xval,yval,zval,qval,rval,fval)
call s6%evaluate(xval,yval,zval,qval,rval,sval,fval)

!free memory:
call s1%destroy()
call s2%destroy()
call s3%destroy()
call s4%destroy()
call s5%destroy()
call s6%destroy()

Nearest Neighbor Interpolation

The library also includes classes for nearest neighbor interpolation (nearest_interp_1d, nearest_interp_2d, ...). The interfaces are the same as for the linear classes.

Compiling

A fpm.toml file is provided for compiling finterp with the Fortran Package Manager. For example, to build:

fpm build --profile release

By default, the library is built with double precision (real64) real values. Explicitly specifying the real kind can be done using the following preprocessor flags:

For example, to build a single precision version of the library, use:

fpm build --profile release --flag "-DREAL32"

To run the unit tests:

fpm test

To use finterp within your fpm project, add the following to your fpm.toml file:

[dependencies]
finterp = { git="https://github.com/jacobwilliams/finterp.git" }

or, to use a specific version:

[dependencies]
finterp = { git="https://github.com/jacobwilliams/finterp.git", tag = "1.3.0"  }

To generate the documentation using ford, run: ford ford.md
