is a package of tools for interpolating non-cartesian data points, each acquired at a known location in k-space, to a cartesian grid.
This package contains several key components which are explained in the following sections.
This package uses the node package manager to manage its version control and dependencies. To use this package simply:
1. Install Node: https://nodejs.org/en/
2. Run `npm install gridder` at a unix-like terminal.
This will automatically download the files for this package (and the packages it depends on) into a `node_modules` folder. If you add this folder to your MATLAB path the package `Gridder` will be available.
It is crucial to note the difference in naming conventions between MATLAB and NPM. The npm package name is `gridder` and the MATLAB package name is `+Gridder`.

### Tests
To make sure this software works as expected in the present environment, tests have been provided and can be run by executing `Gridder.test`. These tests provide a very basic data-in data-out testing and it's these example data files that take up the bulk of the size of this repository.
Since all test data is stored in +tests/private, the files in this folder should not be version controlled. You need to tell your local `git` to not track changes in them via `git update-index --assume-unchanged` as described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12288212/git-update-index-assume-unchanged-on-directory.
If you want to contribute to this project please keep tests in mind and do not commit any new data without telling git to "assume-unchanged" to avoid bloating the .git file.
### Docs
In the `docs/` directory some markdown files are provided explaining how to use each of the functions and classes this package provides.
