what coordinate system do x and y have to be in when using scatteredinterpolant in matlab

When using scatteredInterpolant in Matlab, the x and y coordinates should be in the form of column vectors. This means that if you have n data points, x and y should be column vectors of size (n,1) each.

Here is a simple example to illustrate this:

main.m
% Generating sample data
x = [0; 1; 2; 3; 4]; % column vector
y = [0; 1; 2; 3; 4]; % column vector
z = [1; 4; 9; 16; 25]; % column vector

% Creating a scattered interpolant
F = scatteredInterpolant(x, y, z);

% Evaluating the interpolant at a specific point
queryX = 2.5;
queryY = 2.5;
result = F(queryX, queryY);
disp(result);
329 chars
14 lines

Make sure x and y are column vectors while creating the scatteredInterpolant.
