[geotk] advice re. surface interpolation?

[colin c]

Hi,
thanks Johann, Martin
 - sorry, i don't know which specific interpolations are required. I am
writing a short review of potential GIS solutions for a geologist but the
requirements do not give details of the specific interpolations used. I
think a range of algorithms will be required and these would need to be
sourced from outside geotoolkit,

Regards,
Colin
