(5) Control spline gridding via eigenvalues

Our next animation performs gridding using cubic splines but restricts the solution to using only the first k eigenvalues of the 52 that are required for an exact interpolation of this data set consisting of 52 points. We use greenspline to grid the data and select an ever-increasing number of eigenvalues, then show a contour map of the evolving surface. The data misfits are indicated by the colored circles; as we approach the full solution these all become white (no misfit). These 52 frames are well suited for an animated GIF.

# Purpose:      Make web page with simple animated GIF of gridding
# GMT modules:  grdcontour, greenspline, psxy, pstext, psconvert
# Unix progs:   mkdir, rm, mv, echo, convert, cat
# Note:         Run with any argument to build movie; otherwise 1st frame is plotted only.

# 1. Initialization
# 1a) Assign movie parameters

Here we show how gridding with splines are affected by the number of eigenvalues
used in the construction of the final solution.
