There are several different implementations of valueToInterp()
in various subclasses of SimpleSet, depending on their different
topologies and numerical precisions. On Unix you can do
grep valueToInterp *Set.java
to try to find them all. They are all complex and hard to read.
All current implementations produce n-linear interpolations
(i.e., linear, bilinear, trilinear, etc) for WEIGHTED_AVERAGE.
NEAREST_NEIGHBOR is just what it says it is.
Good luck, Bill
