+NAME
+gsacpts -- accumulate an array of data points into the fit
+.ih
+SYNOPSIS
+include <math/gsurfit.h>
+
+gsacpts (sf, x, y, z, weight, npts, wtflag)
+
+.nf
+pointer sf # surface descriptor
+real x[npts] # x values, xmin <= x <= xmax
+real y[npts] # y values, ymin <= y <= ymax
+real z[npts] # z values
+real weight[npts] # array of weights
+int npts # the number of data points
+int wtflag # type of weighting
+.fi
+.ih
+ARGUMENTS
+.ls sf
+Pointer to the surface descriptor structure.
+.le
+.ls x, y
+Array of x and y values.
+.le
+.ls z
+Array of data values.
+.le
+.ls weight
+The weights assigned to the data points.
+.le
+.ls npts
+The number of data points.
+.le
+.ls wtflag
+Type of weighting. The options are WTS_USER and WTS_UNIFORM. If wtflag
+equals WTS_USER the weight for each data point is supplied by the user.
+If wtflag equals WTS_UNIFORM the routine sets the weight to 1.
+The weight definitions are contained in the package header file gsurfit.h.

+DESCRIPTION
+GSACCUM calculates the non-zero basis functions for the given x and
+y values, computes the contribution of each data point to the normal
+equations and sums that contribution into the appropriate arrays and
+vectors.
+.ih
+NOTES
+Checking for out of bounds x and y values and INDEF valued data points is
+the responsibility of the calling program.
