 | | By translating and rescaling the coordinates, which will not change the interpolation, we may suppose the yellow square is centered at (x, y) and the centers of the surrounding blue cells are located at (0,0), (1,0), (0,1), and (1,1), where they have values Z |
 | | Note that the term "bilinear" derives from the process of linear interpolation (twice in one direction, then once in the perpendicular direction), not from the formula for Z. The formula involves a term with x * y, which is not linear. |
 | | In these figures, interpolation occurs only between the values X=0.0 and X=1.0 because this is the range of X values whose neighbors are located at points -1, 0, 1, and 2. |
