hi,
i have a set of 2D data, say:
IDL> help,vxjc
VXJC FLOAT = Array[6, 16]
IDL> print,vxjc

it's really like this, full of zeros and some few bins with non-zero
valuers. i know what are the x- and y- coordinates for this data, say:
for columns:
IDL> print,vz
-1.62839 -1.23045 -0.628389 -0.327359 0.0483046
0.246672
for rows:
IDL> print,vage
1.00000e+08 1.40000e+08 2.00000e+08 2.80000e+08 4.00000e+08
5.60000e+08 7.90000e+08 1.12000e+09 1.58000e+09 2.24000e+09
3.16000e+09 4.47000e+09 6.31000e+09 8.91000e+09 1.25900e+10
1.58500e+10
but i need to represent this surface at some other coordinates, say
that i need x-axis to have values
newx = [-2.0, -1.5, -1.0, -0.5, 0.0, 0.5]
and y-axis a vector with 10 elements, spaced regularly in log.
what is the best way to rebin and/or interpolate my original 2D data
to the desired new coordinates?
i've been trying without success with the gridding/interpolation
routines, that i'm completely new at.
many thanks for any help,
paula
