InterpolationDataset (PULsE 1.98 API)

java.lang.Object
- pulse.input.InterpolationDataset

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class InterpolationDataset
extends Object
implements Serializable
```
An InterpolationDataset stores data in a List of DataEntry<Double,Double> objects (each containing a 'key' and a 'value') and provides means to interpolate between the 'values' using the 'keys'. This is used mainly to interpolate between available data for thermal properties loaded in tabular representation, e.g. the density and specific heat tables. Features a static list of ExternalDatasetListeners.

- Constructor Detail
  - InterpolationDataset
```
public InterpolationDataset()
```
    Creates an empty InterpolationDataset.
- Method Detail
  - interpolateAt
```
public double interpolateAt(double key)
```
    Provides an interpolated value at key based on the available data in the DataEntry List. The interpolation is done using natural cubic splines, hence it is important that the input noise is minimal.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the argument, at which interpolation needs to be done (e.g. temperature)
    
    Returns:
    
    a double, representing the interpolated value
  - add
```
public void add(ImmutableDataEntry<Double,Double> entry)
```
    Adds entry to this InterpolationDataset.
    
    Parameters:
    
    entry - the entry to be added
  - doInterpolation
```
public void doInterpolation()
```
    Constructs a new Akima spline interpolator and uses the available dataset to produce a SplineInterpolation.
  - getData
```
public List<ImmutableDataEntry<Double,Double>> getData()
```
    Extracts all data available in this InterpolationDataset.
    
    Returns:
    
    the List of data.
