CoarsenedPiecewiseLinear

Perform a point reduction of the tabulated data upon initialization, then evaluate using a linear interpolation.

Description

The CoarsenedPiecewiseLinear performs preprocessing and linear interpolation on an x/y data set. The object acts like PiecewiseLinear except that it reduces the number of function point at the start of the simulation. It uses the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm for data reduction.

Example Input Syntax
