Help for CONFILL2
CONFILL2 is a VICAR procedure that fills by interpolation an image of
contour lines. The input image must consist of contour lines, each of whose
DN is equal to the value of the contour. BYTE, HALF, FULL, and REAL data
formats are all accepted as input. The background pixels must all have a
single DN value, given by the BACKGRND parameter. Interpolation is performed
in the horizontal and vertical directions in separate steps, and the final
result at each pixel is a linear interpolation of the horizontal and vertical
values.
The user may choose either a linear or cubic spline interpolation for the
horizontal and vertical interpolations, but the final combination is always by
linear interpolation. The values of the outermost contours are extended to
the edges of the image.
This procedure uses four intermediate datasets, each the size of the
input image. The user is advised to override the default intermediate
dataset names with ones specifying scratch disks if space is likely to be
a problem in the default directory. The user is also warned that these
intermediate datasets are all deleted upon completion of CONFILL2.
