Description

Get interpolated/extrapolated X value of Curve at specified Y value.

Syntax

double Curve_xfromY( curvebase * pcrvData, double dY )

Parameters

pcrvData: [input] Pointer to Curve
dY: [input] Value of Y

Return

For given Curve returns interpolated/extrapolated value of X at specified value of Y.

Since the function uses extrapolation/interpolation, the out-of-range error will not occur.

Examples

EX1

// This is a self contained sample program for the function Curve_xfromY, 
// Its sample data is created at the beginning of the program. 
// To run the program, enter the following command in the Script window:
//   Curve_xfromY_ex1
// It returns like the following two lines, one for interpolation, and the 
// other for extrapolation:
//  Find X at y=6.000000 ==> FOUND: x=3.000000
//  Find X at y=20.000000 ==> FOUND: x=10.000000
