[geotk] advice re. surface interpolation?

[Johann Sorel]

Hello Colin,

May I ask you more details on the interpolation you are looking for ?
We actually have one which generate a coverage from a list a 
coordinate/value pair.
Anyway geotoolkit has everything needed to create coverage so if you 
have the algorithm that shouldn't be to much work, martin will give you 
more details if you choose this path.

About WWJ : it's mostly experimental for the moment, but if you have 
some knowledge about WWJ your help is welcome.

Regards,
Johann Sorel
