; interpolate data from a "regular/rectangular grid" to any grid.
;   2 methods available: bilinear and imoms3
;   A "regular/rectangular grid" is defined as a grid for which 
; each longitude lines have the same latitude and each latitude columns 
; have the same longitude.
;
; @categories 
; Interpolation
;
; @param method {in}{required}{type=string}
; the interpolation method.
; must be 'bilinear' or 'imoms3'
;
; @param datain {in}{required}{type=2d array}
; the input data to interpolate
;
; @param lonin {in}{required}{type=1d or 2d array}
; the longitude of the input data
;
; @param latin {in}{required}{type=1d or 2d array}
; the latitude of the input data
;
; @param lonout {in}{required}{type=1d or 2d array}
; the longitude of the output data
;
; @param latout {in}{required}{type=1d or 2d array}
; the latitude of the output data
;
; @keyword WEIG {type=2d array or variable name}
; (see ADDR)
;
; @keyword ADDR {type=2d array or variable name}
; 1) at the first call of fromreg: 
; This keyword can be set to a named variable (undefined or equal to 0) into which the
; addresses used to perform the interpolation will be copied when the current routine exits.
; 2) Next, once this keyword is set to a defined 2d array, it is used to bypass the computation
; of the weights and addresses used to perform the interpolation. In this case, fromreg simply
; compute the interpolated field as:
;          dataout = total(weig*datain[addr], 1)
;          dataout = reform(dataout, jpio, jpjo, /over)
; In that case, method, lonin, latin, are not used (but are necessary).
; lonout, latout are used only to know the output domain size
;
; @keyword NONORTHERNLINE
; activate if you don't want to take into account the northern line
; of the input data when performing the interpolation.
;
; @keyword NOSOUTHERNLINE
; activate if you don't want to take into account the southern line
; of the input data when performing the interpolation.
;
; @returns
; 2D array the interpolated data
;
; @restrictions
; We supposed the data are located on a sphere, with a periodicity along the
; longitude.
;
; @examples
;
;  To interpolate 1 field:
;
; IDL> topa = fromreg('bilinear', tncep, xncep, yncep, glamt, gphit)
;
;  or if you have several fields to interpolate from the same source and target grids
; 
; 1) get back the weights and addresses in variables a and b
;   (that must be undefined or equal to 0 before calling fromreg
;
; IDL> t1opa = fromreg('bilinear', t1ncep, xncep, yncep, glamt, gphit, WEIG = a, ADDR = b)
; IDL> help, a, b
;
; 2) use a and b that are now defined to bypass the computation of the weights and addresses 
; and speed-up the computation!
;
; IDL> t2opa = fromreg('bilinear', t2ncep, xncep, yncep, glamt, gphit, WEIG = a, ADDR = b)
