 ====== Interpolate ======
-If there are unreliable data points (residuals < 0) in any signal it is possible to interpolate these gaps in the data using a spline interpolation.
+The Interpolate command fills in any gaps in a signal's data using a spline interpolation. This can be useful if there are unreliable data points ([[visual3d:documentation:c3d_signal_types:target_data_type#target_marker_residuals|residuals]] < 0).
-==== Visual3D Version 4 ====
 The interpolation procedure performs a least-squares fit of an nth order polynomial to k data points.
-|(x1,t1),...,(xk,tk)|k >= polynomial order + 1||
+<code>
+|(x1,t1),...,(xk,tk)|k >= polynomial order + 1|
+</code>
-\\
+The command is given in text form as:

-=== Using an expression in Version 4 ===
-This is considerable more klunky because it requires 3 commands instead of 1:
-**Evaluate_Expression**
-/EXPRESSION=0.1*PARAMETERS::POINT::RATE
-/RESULT_NAME=RATE
-/RESULT_TYPE=METRIC
-/RESULT_FOLDER=TEMP
-**;**
-**Set_Pipeline_Parameter_To_Data_Value**
-/PARAMETER_NAME=GAP
-/SIGNAL_TYPES=METRIC
-/SIGNAL_NAMES=RATE
-/SIGNAL_FOLDER=TEMP
-! /SIGNAL_COMPONENTS=ALL_COMPONENTS
-**;**
-**Interpolate**

 ! /SIGNAL_NAMES=
 ! /SIGNAL_FOLDER=ORIGINAL
 ! /RESULT_SUFFIX=
 ! /RESULT_FOLDER=PROCESSED
-/MAXIMUM_GAP=::GAP
+/MAXIMUM_GAP=
 ! /NUM_FIT=3
 ! /POLYNOMIAL_ORDER=3

-==== Visual3D Version 5 ====

-In version 5 we permit the three numerical parameters to have expressions.

-=== Using an expression in version 5 ===
+===== Parameters =====
+^ Parameter ^ Description ^
+| /Signal_Types | The type of signal to be processed. |
+| /Signal_Names | The names of the signals to be processed. |
+| /Signal_Folder | The name of the signal folder. |
+| /Num_Fit | The number of frames of data before and after the "gap" that are used to calculate the coefficients of the polynomial. |
+| /Polynomial_Order | The order of the polynomial used. |
+| /Maximum_Gap | The maximum number of frames of data that can be replaced with interpolated values. |
+===== Example: Using an expression =====
