Hi feng,
From what I gather, your goal is to visualize a large matrix and subsequently execute interpolation fitting at consistent intervals. To achieve the desired results, you can go through the following steps along with the code snippets:
1. The data consists of three matrices: `x`, `y`, and `F`. These scattered data points are interpolated onto a regular grid for visualization. Grid points are defined using `linspace` and a meshgrid is created with the function `meshgrid`.
xq = linspace(min(x), max(x), 500);
yq = linspace(min(y), max(y), 500);
[Xq, Yq] = meshgrid(xq, yq); % meshgrid for grid points
2. The `griddata` function interpolates the scattered data (`x`, `y`, `F`) onto the grid using the 'cubic' method. The data is then visualized with `imagesc`, including axis adjustments.
figure;
imagesc(xq, yq, Fq);
axis xy;
colorbar;
xlabel('X');
ylabel('Y');

3. To perform interpolation fitting, you can create an interpolant object from the scattered data using `scatteredInterpolant`. Then define grid points using `linspace` and create a meshgrid with `meshgrid`.
F_interpolant = scatteredInterpolant(x, y, F, 'linear', 'none');
% Define the grid for interpolation
xq = linspace(min(x), max(x), 500);
yq = linspace(min(y), max(y), 500);
[Xq, Yq] = meshgrid(xq, yq); %meshgrid for grid points
4. Then evaluate the interpolant at these grid points (`Xq`, `Yq`) and finally, visualize the interpolated data using `imagesc`, adjusting the axis with `axis xy’.
Fq = F_interpolant(Xq, Yq); % Evaluate the interpolant at the grid points
figure;
imagesc(xq, yq, Fq);
axis xy;
colorbar;
xlabel('X');
ylabel('Y');
