// </prerequisite>
 
// <etymology>
// The InterpolateArray1D class does interpolation in one dimension of
// an Array only.
// </etymology>
 
// <synopsis>
// This class will, given the abscissa and ordinates of a set of one
// dimensional data, interpolate on this data set giving the value at any
// specified ordinate. It will extrapolate if necessary, but this is will
// usually give a poor result. There is no requirement for the ordinates to
// be regularly spaced, however they do need to be sorted and each
// abscissa should have a unique value. 
//
// Interpolation can be done using the following methods:
// <ul>
//   <li> Nearest Neighbour 
//   <li> Linear (default unless there is only one data point)
//   <li> Cubic Polynomial
//   <li> Natural Cubic Spline
// </ul>
//
// The abscissa must be a simple type (scalar value) that
// can be ordered. ie. an uInt, Int, Float or Double (not Complex). The
// ordinate can be an Array of any data type that has addition, and 
// subtraction defined as well as multiplication by a scalar of the abcissa 
// type. 
// So the ordinate can be complex numbers, where the interpolation is done 
// separately on the real and imaginary components.
// Use of Arrays as the the Range type is discouraged, operations will 
// be very slow, it would be better to construct a single higher dimensional 
// array that contains all the data.
//
// Note: this class (and these docs) are heavily based on the
// <linkto class=Interpolate1D>Interpolate1D</linkto>
// class in aips/Functionals. That class proved to be
// too slow for interpolation of large data volumes (i.e. spectral line
// visibility datasets) mainly due to the interface which forced the 
// creation of large numbers of temporary Vectors and Arrays.
// This class is 5-10 times faster than Interpolate1D in cases where
// large amounts of data are to be interpolated.
// </synopsis>
 
// <example>
// This code fragment does cubic interpolation on (xin,yin) pairs to
// produce (xout,yout) pairs.
// <srcblock>
//  Vector<Float> xin(4); indgen(xin); 
//  Vector<Double> yin(4); indgen(yin); yin = yin*yin*yin;
//  Vector<Float> xout(20); 
//  for (Int i=0; i<20; i++) xout(i) = 1 + i*0.1;
//  Vector<Double> yout;
//  InterpolateArray1D<Float, Double>::interpolate(yout, xout, xin, yin, 
//                         InterpolateArray1D<Float,Double>::cubic);
// </srcblock>
// </example>
 
// <motivation>
// This class was motivated by the need to interpolate visibilities
// in frequency to allow selection and gridding in velocity space
// with on-the-fly doppler correction.
// </motivation>
 
// <templating arg=Domain>
// <li> The Domain class must be a type that can be ordered in a mathematical
// sense. This includes uInt, Int, Float, Double, but not Complex. 
// </templating>
 
// <templating arg=Range>
// <li> The Range class must have addition and subtraction of Range objects with
// each other as well as multiplication by a scalar defined. Besides the
// scalar types listed above this includes Complex, DComplex, and Arrays of
// any of these types. Use of Arrays is discouraged however.
// </templating>
 
// <thrown>
//    <li> AipsError
// </thrown> 
// <todo asof="1997/06/17">
//   <li> Implement flagging in cubic and spline interpolation
