\title{
  Evaluate ODE Solution
}
\description{
  Evaluate solution of a differential equation solver.
}
\usage{
deval(x, y, xp, idx = NULL)
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{vector of (time) points at which the differential equation
           has been solved.}
  \item{y}{values of the function(s) that have been computed for the
           given (time) points.}
  \item{xp}{point or numeric vector at which the solution is wanted;
            must be sorted.}
  \item{idx}{index of functions whose vales shall be returned.}
}
\details{
  Determines where the points \code{xp} lie within the vector \code{x}
  and interpolates linearly.
}
\value{
  An \code{length(xp)}-by-\code{length(idx)} matrix of values at points
  \code{xp}.
}
\note{
  The interpolation is linear only for the moment.
