[SciPy-user] interpolate.interp1d

[Cory Davis]

Hi all,

It seems that interpolate.interp1d requires that the x argument is
ascending. It seems odd that this should be the case. Either there is a
bug or the ascending requirement should be stated in the documentation. 
Here is an example ...

>>> from scipy.interpolate import *
>>> zinterp=interp1d(x=-arange(10),y=arange(10)*2)
>>> zinterp(-2.2)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File
"/eosmls/local/linux/lib/python/scipy/interpolate/interpolate.py", line
165, in __call__
    out_of_bounds = self._check_bounds(x_new)
  File
"/eosmls/local/linux/lib/python/scipy/interpolate/interpolate.py", line
219, in _check_bounds
    raise ValueError, " A value in x_new is below the"\
ValueError:  A value in x_new is below the interpolation range.

Cheers,
Cory.
