[SciPy-user] Fwd: interpolation question

[Michael Hearne]

Haven't heard any discussion on this issue since I posted last week -  
are these in fact bugs or am I not using the module correctly?

I also found that if I modify the code in fitpack2.py (see below) to  
compare dimension[0] with Y and dimension[1] with X, I still get back  
interpolated results whose dimensions are opposite of what was  
specified (rows => columns, columns=> rows).

If this is a persistent or low-priority issue, does anyone have any  
suggestions for workaround options for 2d interpolation of regularly  
spaced data?

Thanks,

Mike Hearne
