If you're trying to rebin irregularly grided data onto a regular grid,
then you want TRIANGULATE (and TRIGRID).

If you want to weight the output by the number of input points, you
might want HISTOGRAM (or HIST_ND) instead.

If you want to know which points of the source data fall into each
point of the destination grid, then you want HISTOGRAM.

Chris.
