trilinear

Along three lines

Trilinear describes something involving three lines or three linear dimensions.

In mathematics and computer graphics, trilinear interpolation estimates values within a three-dimensional grid by sampling along three axes: The game engine uses trilinear filtering to smooth textures.

The term appears in technical contexts involving spatial calculations or coordinate systems.
