How can I increase the size of an array that is already in the workspace with increments of 0.1?

I am doing my dissertation for my masters and I ran into a problem, I am trying to compute the error between a smooth spline and the original line, however the arrays do not match in size, I am tryingg to increase the original array which has a size of 45x2, how can I create a new array from this smaller array with increment increase of 0.1
Thank you

yet another issue - now I lack one toolbox to continue
'distance' requires one of the following:
Antenna Toolbox
Automated Driving Toolbox
Communications Toolbox
Computer Vision Toolbox
Mapping Toolbox
Navigation Toolbox
Phased Array System Toolbox
Sensor Fusion and Tracking Toolbox
Error in Filipe>explore_successors (line 225)
successors(successor_count,3) = h+distance(x_cell,y_cell,s_x,s_y);%h
Error in Filipe (line 114)
successors=explore_successors(cell_x,cell_y,path_cost,x_target,y_target,in_valid,max_x,max_y);

easily solved by creating my own function - that wasn't too much complicated ....
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
function d = mydistance(x1,y1,x2,y2)
d = sqrt((x1-x2).^2 + (y1-y2).^2);
end

so this is the status now :
1/ I believe I fixed a couple of issues at the end of the main code :
now both linear and spline curves have same dimensions and error can be computed :
% m=path(:,1);
% m1=x_start;
% m2=m1:0.1:m;
x1=[path(:,1);x_start]; % seemed to me the start point is missing in "path" so added manually at the bottom
y1=[path(:,2);y_start]; % seemed to me the start point is missing in "path" so added manually at the bottom
xq=(min(x1):0.1:max(x1))'; % correction here also
vq =interp1(x1,y1,xq,'spline'); %see interp1() for other interpolation methods. Extrapolation is dangerous.
y2 =interp1(x1,y1,xq,'linear'); %see interp1() for other interpolation methods. Extrapolation is dangerous.
plot(xq,y2,xq,vq,'b','LineWidth',2);
error_rms = sqrt(mean((y2-vq).^2))
error_rms = 0.0227

hello
this compute the euclidian distance between two points . Simply I had to write this function becasue in your code you are using a similar function from a toolbox I don't have. But as you can see that was easily solved.

You need to use interp1.
Let A be your original array of size 45*2.
dx = 0.1 ;
x = A(:,1) ; y = A(:,2) ;
xi = min(x):dx:max(x) ;
yi = interp1(x,y,xi) ;

so , maybe now I acn provide an answer....
had a couple of questions to myself - and tried to solve it this way :
now we have both the linear and spline path data the same size
y2 is basically the same linear y1 data but smapled at the new delta = 0.1 (using interp1 again but with "linear" argument;
below is the end of the main code that I changed quite a bit :
% m=path(:,1);
% m1=x_start;
% m2=m1:0.1:m;
x1=[path(:,1);x_start]; % seemed to me the start point is missing in "path" so added manually at the bottom
y1=[path(:,2);y_start]; % seemed to me the start point is missing in "path" so added manually at the bottom
xq=(min(x1):0.1:max(x1))'; % correction here also
vq =interp1(x1,y1,xq,'spline'); %see interp1() for other interpolation methods. Extrapolation is dangerous.
y2 =interp1(x1,y1,xq,'linear'); %see interp1() for other interpolation methods. Extrapolation is dangerous.
plot(xq,y2,xq,vq,'b','LineWidth',2);
error_rms = sqrt(mean((y2-vq).^2));
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
function d = mydistance(x1,y1,x2,y2)
d = sqrt((x1-x2).^2 + (y1-y2).^2);
end
result is : error_rms = 0.0227
