I would like to improve upon IDL TRIGRID's interpolation method
by using a weighted average, natural neighbor approach as
is implemented in Dave Watson's nngridr package. I found
that NCAR has adapted nngridr into a library of C and FORTRAN
code called Natgrid. I suppose I could use that via a set of IDL
wrappers and CALL_EXTERNAL routines. First, however, I would like
to know if anyone has already adapted these or similar routines
for IDL (either a direct port or a set of wrappers).
Thanks.

No, clearly ITTVIS is trying to keep this excellent routine
under wraps. For what purpose, I really don't know. Possibly
because their technical support team has no more clue how or
when to use it then the rest of us.
Cheers,

Well, finding it and understanding it once you have found
it are two completely different things, it seems to me.
I'm convinced GRIDDATA must be a powerful routine, but the
documentation doesn't give me a clue how to use it. Does
anyone understand enough about the various gridding methods
available in GRIDDATA to write a decent article about it?
Cheers,
David
