<p class="rubric">Notes</p>
<p>This note is a bit technical and details the way a
<a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.tri.CubicTriInterpolator" title="matplotlib.tri.CubicTriInterpolator"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CubicTriInterpolator</span></code></a> computes a cubic
interpolation.</p>
<p>The interpolation is based on a Clough-Tocher subdivision scheme of
the <em>triangulation</em> mesh (to make it clearer, each triangle of the
grid will be divided in 3 child-triangles, and on each child triangle
the interpolated function is a cubic polynomial of the 2 coordinates).
This technique originates from FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis;
the element used is a reduced Hsieh-Clough-Tocher (HCT)
element. Its shape functions are described in <a class="reference internal" href="#r0be0c58fd53f-1" id="id1"><span>[R0be0c58fd53f-1]</span></a>.
The assembled function is guaranteed to be C1-smooth, i.e. it is
continuous and its first derivatives are also continuous (this
is easy to show inside the triangles but is also true when crossing the
edges).</p>
<p>In the default case (<em>kind</em> ='min_E'), the interpolant minimizes a
curvature energy on the functional space generated by the HCT element
shape functions - with imposed values but arbitrary derivatives at each
node. The minimized functional is the integral of the so-called total
curvature (implementation based on an algorithm from <a class="reference internal" href="#r0be0c58fd53f-2" id="id2"><span>[R0be0c58fd53f-2]</span></a> - PCG sparse
solver):</p>
<blockquote>
<div><div class="math notranslate nohighlight">
\[E(z) = \frac{1}{2} \int_{\Omega} \left(
\left( \frac{\partial^2{z}}{\partial{x}^2} \right)^2 +
\left( \frac{\partial^2{z}}{\partial{y}^2} \right)^2 +
2\left( \frac{\partial^2{z}}{\partial{y}\partial{x}} \right)^2
\right) dx\,dy\]</div>
</div></blockquote>
<p>If the case <em>kind</em> ='geom' is chosen by the user, a simple geometric
approximation is used (weighted average of the triangle normal
vectors), which could improve speed on very large grids.</p>

<p class="rubric">Notes</p>
<p>The rationale behind this function is that a Delaunay
triangulation - of an unstructured set of points - sometimes contains
almost flat triangles at its border, leading to artifacts in plots
(especially for high-resolution contouring).
Masked with computed <em>new_mask</em>, the encapsulated
triangulation would contain no more unmasked border triangles
with a circle ratio below <em>min_circle_ratio</em>, thus improving the
mesh quality for subsequent plots or interpolation.</p>
