The 2D Scatter Point module is used to interpolate from groups of 2D scattered data to other objects (meshes, grids, TINs). Several interpolation schemes are supported, including kriging.

Interpolation is useful for setting up input data for analysis codes and for site characterization. The two figures below show examples of using interpolation.
