DESCRIPTION
     Each of these functions casts a  ray  (or  rays)  through  a
     three-dimensional  (3D)  data set, then computes and returns

     the interpolated samples at each step along the way.


     In trilinear interpolation, the value at point P is computed
     from  its  eight surrounding neighbors based on the equation
     below.

       P = (1-a)*(1-b)*(1-c)*P0 +
           a*(1-b)*(1-c)*Px + (1-a)*b*(1-c)*Py + (1-a)*(1-b)*c*Pz +
           a*b*(1-c)*Pxy + a*(1-b)*c*Pxz + (1-a)*b*c*Pyz +
           a*b*c*Pxyz



     where a, b, and c are the fractional parts  of  the  coordi-
     nates of point P.


     The trilinear interpolation is represented by the  following
     figure:

     Printed  copy  or  docs.sun.com  displays  a   figure   that
     represents the trilinear interpolation.


     In nearest neighbor operation, the sample value at  point  P
     is replaced by the value of the nearest neighbor voxel.

PARAMETERS
     Each of the functions takes the following arguments:

     rays      Casting rays.


     blk       Volume data in the blocked format.


     buffer    Working buffer.


RETURN VALUES
     Each of the functions returns  MLIB_SUCCESS  if  successful.
     Otherwise it returns MLIB_FAILURE.

ATTRIBUTES
