This report describes LIP, the Livermore Interpolation Package. LIP was totally rewritten from the package described in [1]. In particular, the independent variables are now referred to as x and y, since it is a general-purpose package that need not be restricted to equation of state data, which uses variables ρ (density) and T (temperature).
LIP is a library of openly published mathematical algorithms used to assist in 1D and 2D interpolation of discrete tabular data. Example usage includes Equation of State analysis, boundary condition inputs for applications, mesh generation, image manipulation, and host of other applications where discrete data needs to be sampled as a continuous function. The distribution contains a facility for building and testing a library, liblip.a, from which applications may access the various functions that make up LIP.
