_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Return the ratio of two kernel smoothings

_U_s_a_g_e:

     kernrat(pts1,pts2,poly,h1,h2,nx=20,ny=20,kernel='quartic')

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

pts1,pts2: Point data sets 

    poly: A polygon data set 

   h1,h2: The kernel width parameters, 'h1' for 'pts1', and 'h2' for
          'pts2' 

      nx: Number of points along the x-axis of the returned grid. 

      ny: Number of points along the y-axis of the returned grid. 

  kernel: Type of kernel function to use. Currently only the quartic
          kernel is implemented. 

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A list with the following components: 

       x: List of x-coordinates at which the kernel function has been
          evaluated.

       y: List of y-coordinates at which the kernel function has been
          evaluated.

       z: A matrix of dimension 'nx' by 'ny' containing the ratio of
          the kernel functions.

       h: A vector of length 2 containing 'h1' and 'h2'

  kernel: a character string containing the kernel name.
