Asterix

Asterix is a software developed in C and tested on Linux by a research group from ISMMA.

This actual module processes the data from a square raster file and provides the data for a regular hexagonal raster.

The algorithm is based on an interpolation technique, 2D and 1D, described in [2] and [1], respectively. This is a bi-cubic interpolation scheme which works not only on regular but on quasi-regular grids of data also (row like grids, see [2]).

The archive containing the code corresponding to this module can be downloaded from here, and accompanies the article [2]. To extract the code, use the command
