Re: [Matplotlib-users] Basemap interp nearest neighbor

[Aman T. <ama...@gm...>]

On a similar note, are there any alternatives available to nearest
neighbor?  For example, kriging?  I remember seeing a geostats library in
python (hpgl i think), but I found the API rather impractical and difficult
to use.

Thanks,
Aman
