Spline with input (Xs,Ys, tilts) and output (Zs), give one Z

2 views (last 30 days)
I have 10 points with different fix X and Y coordinates Constraints: 1) One of these points has fix X , Y, Z coordinates 2) All of the points have different fix tilt
I need to create a surface on with this 10 points with these two constrains Question: Does Matlab have a spline function that could create this surface (i.e. input (Xs,Ys, tilts) and output (Zs), give one Z)

I have the inclination and direction of a nominal surface at a fix X and Y

tilt = tangent vectors at each X and Y (point)

I believe the answer is fairly likely "NO", that Matlab does not have a spline function that could create the surface.
For clever and robust ways of building such a function, I would recommend asking John D'Errico for suggestions.
