Dear all,

I am searching for a function that can perform following:

I have coastline data where the vertices are unequally spaced. Now I want to sample the data in a way, that may be best described as going with a rod of specified length along the beach and taking a gps measurement at every length of my measuring rod. What I finally want is the list of measured coordinates. What this requires is "of course" an interpolation scheme that may be e.g. linear or spline.

Does anyone know, if there is a function available, that can perform this. So far I couldn't find anything in the FEX nor in the Matlab Help.

Best regards,
Wolfgang
