	)		const

inline

Get the bivariate polynomial approximation for Z(X,Y) from the given sample points.

The parameters a,b,c,... for the polynom are returned. The order is, e.g., for degree 1: ax+by+c and for degree 2: ax²+bxy+cx+dy²+ey+f. error is set to true if the approximation did not work for any reason (not enough points, matrix not invertible, etc.)
