LV imath and gmath for 2D interpolation

[GregSands]

It seems as though there are two separate math developments in LV - the traditional "gmath" which is available through the palette menus, and the Matlab-derived "imath" which is exposed through the MathScript windows.  However, under the hood, this is still all written in G.  My query is that, although there is different (but overlapping) functionality available - will these two sets be integrated?

I'm coming at this from looking at 2D interpolation.  Gmath functions only allow for interpolation of regularly spaced data, however through MathScript one can call the "griddata" function to interpolate irregular data - it does a Delauney triangulation, then interpolation, all exactly as Matlab would.  Diving into this reveals a VI vi.lib\imath\engines\lvmath\MC_Math_99.llb\Interpolate 2D for Scattered Data.vi which can be called directly in the way the gmath routines are (although there is no documentation, help or examples for this routine).

There seems no reason for this function not to be available on the Math\Interpolation menu.

So the question is - down the track, will a single set of Math functions be provided, accessible both directly or through MathScript? Or is the plan to keep them separate, and require the user to hunt through for useful functions?
