Folks,
As Mike Galloy reminded me yesterday, CONGRID does not allow
nearest neighbor re-sampling in 3D. It *always* interpolates
3D arrays.
So today I get someone complaining about TVIMAGE and the
fact that when you are displaying a 24-bit image and you
set the /NOINTERPOLATE keyword that is still interpolates
the data. Of course, I don't use CONGRID to resize the
image, I use CMCONGRID. So I am inclined to believe the
problem properly belongs to Craig and his lousy program. :-)
But, of course, the only reason I'm using CMCONGRID is
that I (used) to believe it was much better than CONGRID.
So here is my dilemma. I am now being asked to fix a problem
that is at least two programs removed from my own program.
What are my responsibilities here?
Should I fix it in my programs (lots of work), ask Craig
to fix it in his (less work, at least for me), or request
ITTVIS make CONGRID work in a manner that we would all
prefer it would work (probably less work, since they could
copy Craig's fixes for their program, and I could explain to
them how to fix my current problem)?
I thought it would be interesting to hear your opinion.
Cheers,
David

Where the heck is Craig! My conclusion is that it
is HIS problem! :-)

It depends (TM).
If you want to actually fix the problem, then option 1.
If you want the problem to maybe get fixed one day, option 2.
If you want the problem to remain eternally frozen in its present
day form, option 3.
Cheers,
bob
