3.25.53.7 interpolate

The option ‘interpolate m,n‘ will interpolate grid points into a finer mesh, and color each quadrangle appropriately. For data files, this will smoothen the color surface, and enhance spikes in a color surface. For functions, interpolation makes little sense, except to trade off precision for memory. It would usually make more sense to use samples and isosamples when working with functions. For positive m and n, each quadrangle or triangle is interpolated m-times and n-times in the respective direction. For negative m and n, the interpolation frequency is chosen so that there will be at least |m| and |n| points drawn; you can consider this as a special gridding function. Zeros, i.e. ‘interpolate 0,0‘, will automatically choose an optimal number of interpolated surface points.
