<p>A CubicTriInterpolator performs cubic interpolation on triangular grids.</p>
<p>In one-dimension - on a segment - a cubic interpolating function is
defined by the values of the function and its derivative at both ends.
This is almost the same in 2-d inside a triangle, except that the values
of the function and its 2 derivatives have to be defined at each triangle
<p>The CubicTriInterpolator takes the value of the function at each node -
provided by the user - and internally computes the value of the
derivatives, resulting in a smooth interpolation.
(As a special feature, the user can also impose the value of the
derivatives at each node, but this is not supposed to be the common
usage.)</p>

<p class="rubric">Notes</p>
<p>This note is a bit technical and details the way a
<a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.tri.CubicTriInterpolator" title="matplotlib.tri.CubicTriInterpolator"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">CubicTriInterpolator</span></code></a> computes a cubic
interpolation.</p>
<p>The interpolation is based on a Clough-Tocher subdivision scheme of
the <em>triangulation</em> mesh (to make it clearer, each triangle of the
grid will be divided in 3 child-triangles, and on each child triangle
the interpolated function is a cubic polynomial of the 2 coordinates).
This technique originates from FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis;
the element used is a reduced Hsieh-Clough-Tocher (HCT)
element. Its shape functions are described in <a class="reference internal" href="#r1" id="id1">[R1]</a>.
The assembled function is guaranteed to be C1-smooth, i.e. it is
continuous and its first derivatives are also continuous (this
is easy to show inside the triangles but is also true when crossing the
edges).</p>
<p>In the default case (<em>kind</em> =&#8217;min_E&#8217;), the interpolant minimizes a
curvature energy on the functional space generated by the HCT element
shape functions - with imposed values but arbitrary derivatives at each
node. The minimized functional is the integral of the so-called total
curvature (implementation based on an algorithm from <a class="reference internal" href="#r2" id="id2">[R2]</a> - PCG sparse
solver):</p>
<blockquote>
<div><img src="../_images/mathmpl/math-4d96f7ca18.png" class="center" /></div></blockquote>
<p>If the case <em>kind</em> =&#8217;geom&#8217; is chosen by the user, a simple geometric
approximation is used (weighted average of the triangle normal
vectors), which could improve speed on very large grids.</p>

<p class="rubric">Notes</p>
<p>The rationale behind this function is that a Delaunay
triangulation - of an unstructured set of points - sometimes contains
almost flat triangles at its border, leading to artifacts in plots
(especially for high-resolution contouring).
Masked with computed <em>new_mask</em>, the encapsulated
triangulation would contain no more unmasked border triangles
with a circle ratio below <em>min_circle_ratio</em>, thus improving the
mesh quality for subsequent plots or interpolation.</p>
