== Interpolation Library ==
Interpolation is a way of constructing new data points within a range of known data points.


The range of applications is varied, but here in SL it can most directly be used for animating and/or moving prims or linksets via any attribute you can creatively make use of.


=== Float Functions ===
Attributes:
* Prim/Object Position
* Prim/Object Rotation
* Texture Scale/Offsets
* or you can just simply interpolate internal values

Linear interpolation of f0 and f1 with fraction t.
<lsl>
float fLin(float f0, float f1,float t){
    return f0*(1-t) + f1*t;}
</lsl>


{|cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="1" style="border: 1px solid #aaaaaa; margin: 1em 1em 1em 0pt; background-color: #ffffff; border-collapse: collapse" width="80%"
There are many different types of interpolation, which may exhibit different preferred or controllable behaviour.

Interpolation is a way of constructing new data points within a range of known data points.

The range of applications is varied, but here in SL it can most directly be used for animating and/or moving prims or linksets via any attribute you can creatively make use of.

Attributes:

  • Prim/Object Position
  • Prim/Object Rotation
  • Texture Scale/Offsets
  • or you can just simply interpolate internal values

Potential applications:

  • Movement
  • Animation
  • User Interfaces
  • Graphics
  • Games

There are many different types of interpolation, which may exhibit different preferred or controllable behaviour.
