[Numpy-discussion] Linear Interpolation 2

[Andrea Gavana]

Hi All,

    as I didn't get any answer, I thought I might repost with some
more analysis the trouble I am having with interp2d.

The attached script produces 3 different results depending on the
value of the parameter numColumns, i.e.:

1) numColumns = 20

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\MyProjects\LinearInterpolation.py", line 27, in <module>
    function = interp2d(xx, yy, z, kind="linear")
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\scipy\interpolate\interpolate.py",
line 113, in __init__
    self.tck = fitpack.bisplrep(self.x, self.y, self.z, kx=kx, ky=ky, s=0.)
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\scipy\interpolate\fitpack.py",
line 702, in bisplrep
    tx,ty,nxest,nyest,wrk,lwrk1,lwrk2)
ValueError: Invalid inputs.

2) numColumns = 200

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\MyProjects\LinearInterpolation.py", line 27, in <module>
    function = interp2d(xx, yy, z, kind="linear")
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\scipy\interpolate\interpolate.py",
line 113, in __init__
    self.tck = fitpack.bisplrep(self.x, self.y, self.z, kx=kx, ky=ky, s=0.)
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\scipy\interpolate\fitpack.py",
line 702, in bisplrep
    tx,ty,nxest,nyest,wrk,lwrk1,lwrk2)
MemoryError

(MemoryError? With a 372x200 matrix???)

3) numColumns = 2000

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\MyProjects\LinearInterpolation.py", line 27, in <module>
    function = interp2d(xx, yy, z, kind="linear")
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\scipy\interpolate\interpolate.py",
line 113, in __init__
    self.tck = fitpack.bisplrep(self.x, self.y, self.z, kx=kx, ky=ky, s=0.)
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\scipy\interpolate\fitpack.py",
line 702, in bisplrep
    tx,ty,nxest,nyest,wrk,lwrk1,lwrk2)
OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int

Is there anyone who could tell me, please, what I am doing wrong? This
is on Windows XP 1GB RAM, 3.7 GHz, Python 2.5, scipy 0.6.0, numpy
1.0.4.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Andrea.
