Interpolating Values Along Line

I currently have 3 different matrices, 1 for x-coordinate of points, 1 for y-coordinate of points, and 1 for pressure at the point. I want to interpolate the value of pressure along a line in between the some of the current coordinates. I am not sure how to go about this. Any help would be much appreciated!

ZI = interp2(X,Y,Z,XI,YI)

So in your case

InterpolatedPressure = interp2(X, Y, Pressures, NewX, NewY);

hi,

you mean interpolating the matrix P of pressure to increase the samples, or to find the coordinates where certain values of Pressure occur?

1)for the first :

You define your new X2,Y2 coordinates ( matrices , using meshgrid as example) :

 P_new=interp2(X,Y,P,X2,Y2); % the new matrix P_new is interpolated

2) for the second :

Suppose that the matrix P contains a value 100 N/m², we want to find the coordinates where that value occurs :

 D=P-100.00;
 tolerance=1e-3;
 [indx1,indx2]=find(abs(D)<tolerence);
