How to perform interpolation on a 2D array in MATLAB

Question

How can I make a function of 2 variables and given a 2D array, it would return an interpolated value?

I have N x M array A. I need to inter

For data on a regular grid, use interp2. If your data is scattered, use griddata. You can create an anonymous function as a simplified wrapper around those calls.

M = 10;
N = 5;
A = rand(M,N);
interpolatedA = @(y,x) interp2(1:N,1:M,A,x,y);
%interpolatedA = @(y,x) griddata(1:N,1:M,A,x,y); % alternative
interpolatedA(3.3,8.2)
