[SciPy-user] Is there any easy way to calculate derivatives from ndimage.spline_filter coeffs?

[Jorge E. ´Sanchez Sanchez]

Hi all,

 I have interpolated a surface function with x, y, fvals using:

coeffs = ndimage.spline_filter(fvals)
newf = ndimage.map_coordinates(coeffs, coords, prefilter=False)

and I also need the x and y partial derivatives of fvals at the new interpolation points in coords. I suppose that there should be
some command similar to bisplev (as in the next code lines) which allows to calculate them, and I have been looking for it 
unsuccsesfully, so I would appreciate it very much if somebody could help me with this.

#########################################################################
tck =  interpolate.bisplrep(xn,yn,fvalsn)

newff= interpolate.bisplev(newx[:,0],newy[0,:],tck)
#THE PARTIAL DERIVATIVE RESPECT x
newfdx = interpolate.bisplev(newx[:,0],newy[0,:],tck,dx=1,dy=0)

#THE PARTIAL DERIVATIVE RESPECT y
newfdy = interpolate.bisplev(newx[:,0],newy[0,:],tck,dx=0,dy=1)

#########################################################################

I thank you in advance for your kind help
jorge
