Triangulation with Linear Interpolation

The Triangulation with Linear Interpolation works best with data that is evenly
distributed over the grid area. If the map is produced with triangular facets then the data
set may be too small or most likely contains sparse areas. The gridding method draws
lines between data points to create triangles, none of the triangle edges are intersected
by other triangles. This gridding method is fast and does not extrapolate beyond the Z
value of the data range. In addition, Triangulation with Linear Interpolation does not
create data that is outside the data limits; it assigns the NoData value to the grid nodes
that are outside the data limits.

The example below shows a data set that was gridded using the Triangulation with
Linear Interpolation gridding method.

The classed post map, left, was created with the data points. The contour map, left,
represents the
interpolated grid nodes using the Triangulation gridding method.

To specify the advanced options of the Triangulation with Linear Interpolation gridding
method, in the Grid Data dialog, click Advanced Options.

Anisotropy is useful in eliminating trends in the data when interpolating the grid nodes.
Anisotropy refers to directionally dependent data. The Grid Data Advanced
Options dialog allows you to specify three different customizations of the gridding. The
customizable areas:
 The Grid Data Advanced Options allows the anisotropy
settings to be specified when gridding the data.

1. Anisotropy Ratio: This value defines the relative weight of the points when
interpolating the grid nodes. This value is computed by dividing the maximum range
by the minimum range. For most data sets, it is recommended to accept the default
value of 1, which means that all points have the same weight. You may want to
increase the ratio of the points in one direction that has more similarity than the
points in another direction. By increasing the ratio, the points in the direction defined
will have more weight on the value of the interpolated grid node. The ratio is typically
considered severe if greater than four and mild if less than two.
2. Anisotropy Angle: The angle is the direction of the major axis, in degrees. The angle
rotates counterclockwise with 0 degrees being east-west and 90 degrees being north-
south going multiple directions. In order to use a direction angle, an anisotropy angle
should not equal 1.
3. Save Triangles To: The Delaunay triangles are formed by connecting lines between
data points. Often the triangles are formed by maximizing the minimum angle; this
prevents small triangles from being formed. The result is triangular faces all over the
grid. If two or points are located on the same line then there is no Delaunay
triangulation. The triangles that are formed are not intersected by other triangles. The
 triangles can be useful to determine the density of the data points. The Delaunay
triangles can be loaded as a base map and combined with other maps. To save the

Trianggulation with linear interpolation

Metode ini bermanfaat menghasilkan analisis patahan. Metode ini membutuhkan data yang banyak,
karena apabila terjadi kekurangan data maka akan terjadi pembentukan pola segitiga pada
permukaan kontur. Walau demikian metode ini dapat menangani situasi sulitseperti pembuatan fitur
seperti teras dan lubang. Metode ini tidak mengekstrapolasi nilai-nilai Z di luar jangkauan data.
