IPOLATES

The IPOLATES routine interpolates scalar fields
             from any grid to any grid.  Only horizontal
             interpolation is performed.

             The following interpolation methods are possible:
                (IP=0) BILINEAR
                (IP=1) BICUBIC
                (IP=2) NEIGHBOR
                (IP=3) BUDGET
                (IP=4) SPECTRAL
                (IP=6) NEIGHBOR-BUDGET

             Some of these methods have interpolation options and/or
             restrictions on the input or output grids, both of which
             are documented more fully in their respective subprograms.
             The grids are defined by their grid description sections
             (passed in integer form as decoded by subprogram w3fi63).

             The current code recognizes the following projections:
                (KGDS(1)=000) EQUIDISTANT CYLINDRICAL
                (KGDS(1)=001) MERCATOR CYLINDRICAL
                (KGDS(1)=003) LAMBERT CONFORMAL CONICAL
                (KGDS(1)=004) GAUSSIAN CYLINDRICAL
                (KGDS(1)=005) POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC AZIMUTHAL
                (KGDS(1)=201) ROTATED EQUIDISTANT CYLINDRICAL
                (KGDS(1)=202) ROTATED EQUIDISTANT CYLINDRICAL

             Where KGDS could be either input KGDSI or output KGDSO.
             As an added bonus the number of output grid points
             and their latitudes and longitudes are also returned.
             On the other hand, the output can be a set of station points
             If KGDSO(1)<0, in which case the number of points
             and their latitudes and longitudes must be input.
             input bitmaps will be interpolated to output bitmaps.
             output bitmaps will also be created when the output grid
             extends outside of the domain of the input grid.
             The output field is set to 0 where the output bitmap is off.
