The option is "delaunay", as you've specified, though the constant 'true'
must be specified in lowercase to be valid JSON.

Looking at the code, it appears that you also need to set "count" to some
reasonable value in order to get this interpolation method to work. The
code builds a delaunay triangulation of <count> neighbors and then
interpolates attempts to use that triangulation to determine a Z value for
the point in question. I'd have to look through the math more closely to
give you better information. It appears that things haven't been
documented. I'll take a stab at that before long.
