Abstract
We show that if the scattered data over a polygonal domain can be quadrangulated, then the space of bivariate C1 piecewise cubic polynomial functions on a triangulation obtained from the quadrangulation has the full approximation order. We point out that our method is more efficient than the Clough-Tocher scheme.
