I have a file with data points scattered in 3-D space (ground water
polution values from wells).
For example:
7
X Y Z F
9.0000 49.750 57.000 95.000
8.0000 49.000 56.500 2500.0
6.5000 54.250 62.250 5.0000
10.000 47.500 42.000 290.00
9.7500 47.500 54.500 1400.0
9.0000 48.750 32.500 4.0000
9.2500 49.000 53.500 170.00
(My case actually has 71 points) I was able to use a routine
(ReadXYZData, downloaded from swedishchef.lerc.nasa.gov) to convert
this file to a 1-D curvilinear lattice. I want to make isosurfaces,
etc. Is there a way to do this? I can use LatToGeom and Render to see
the points floating in space, or connected with lines.
I tried to use "Interpolate", with the "Interpolation Pts" lattice
from GenLat. Even though I scaled my input data coordinates to fall
between 0 and 63, and selected a "Coord Range" in GenLat to vary
between 0 and 32, "Interpolate" tells me all the points are outside
the range.
Thanks in advance.
