When I interpolate y=congrid(x,ny,/interp) an array, the mean of the original array (x) is different from the mean of the interpolated array (y). Is there a function or keyword to preserve the mean?

I am new to this user group - hope the question is understandable and there is an answer! Thanks a lot in advance.

The keyword you are looking for is MINUS_ONE:

IDL> x = (Findgen(100)+1)*4
IDL> print, Mean(x)
      202.000
IDL> print, mean(congrid(x, 200, /minus_one))
      202.000
IDL> print, mean(congrid(x, 5250, /minus_one))
      202.000
IDL> print, mean(congrid(x, 5250, /interp, /minus_one))
      202.000
IDL> print, mean(congrid(x, 367, /interp, /minus_one))
      202.000

Cheers,

David

While the /MINUS_ONE keyword works for your particular example, I don't believe it is a general solution.     I'd suggest frebin.pro ( http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftp/pro/image/frebin.pro ) as a flux-conserving alternative to CONGRID.

IDL> x = randomn(seed,100)*10
IDL> y = congrid(x,367,/minus_one,/interp)
IDL> z = frebin(x,367)                  
IDL> print,mean(x),mean(y),mean(z)
    -0.593289    -0.546786    -0.593280

Thank you both for the answer.
frebin does a good job!
Cheers,
