Readers, According to the help '?approxfun', the function can be used to obtain the interpolated values. The following test was tried:

It was expected that 'approx' would return both original and interpolated values (which the above shows) and that 'approxfun' would not show the original values. -- r2151 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
