REBIN is averaging as your example shows. So I am making a
distinction between interpolation (finding a value at a point by using
values at neighboring points) and averaging. In general, CONGRID
is for interpolation (including nearest neighbor) whereas REBIN is for
averaging (though it does use interpolation for expansion).

I should mention frebin.pro (http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftp/pro/
image/frebin.pro ) which averages using partial pixels and thus,
unlike REBIN, can shrink or expand to any size. --Wayne
