	<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
  Gaps in data can be filled with <i>interpolated</i> data if desired. LTPDA <a href="matlab:doc('ao/gapfilling')"><tt>gapfilling</tt></a> joins two AOs
  by means of a segment of <i>synthetic</i> data. This segment is calculated from the two input AOs. Two different
  methods are possible to fill the gap in the data: <tt>linear</tt> and <tt>spline</tt>. The former fills the data
  by means of a linear interpolation whereas the latter uses a smoother curve ---see examples below.
  <br>
  <br>
  <h2>Syntax</h2>
</p>
<div class="fragment"><pre>
    <br>
    b = gapfilling(a1, a2, pl)
  </pre>
</div>
<p>
  where <tt>a1</tt> and <tt>a2</tt> are the two segments to join.
  </p>
  <h2>Parameters</h2>
  The following parameters apply for this method:
  <ul>
    <li><tt>'method'</tt> - method used to interpolate missing data (see below for details)
    <ul>
      <li> <tt>'linear'</tt> (default option) </li> 
      <li> <tt>'spline'</tt> </li>
    </ul>
    <li><tt>'addnoise'</tt> - with this option <i>noise</i> can be
      added to the interpolated data.
      This noise is defined as a <br>
      random variable with
      zero mean and variance equal to the high-frequency
    noise of the input AO. </li>
    
  </ul>
</p>
<p>
  <h2>Algorithm</h2>
</p>
<p>
  <b>Linear :</b> The gap is filled using a linear approximation.

<br>
the notation used in the previous expression is schematically explained in the figure below

  </div>
</p>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<p>
  <b>Spline :</b> a third order interpolation is used in this case
</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>
  The parameters <tt>a</tt>, <tt>b</tt>, <tt>c</tt> and <tt>d</tt> are calculated
  by solving next system of equations:
