Hi all and happy new year.

for my 2c wrt interpolations I seem to come across "bilinear" in the world-beyond grass more commonly, and to me it makes more sense.
Is the "bicubic" truly considering x and y separately? i.e. is it actually correct to use the "bi-" prefix with it? If it's more of a buffer operation, cubic might be better.

but whatever is chosen, consistency in use is good to help with the learning curves. I wouldn't object to bilinear + cubic though if each was considered best in its class.
