The argument --interp_values is used to choose the interpolation method(s). If this argument is not provided, the linear interpolation is used as the default interpolation for the lateral and longitudinal directions.

For advanced user, the interpolation methods implemented in TatooineMesher are:

--interp_values Lateral (= crosswise) Longitudinal
Two Consecutive 1D interpolators
LINEAR linear (degree 1) linear (degree 1)
B-SPLINE B-spline (degree 3)
AKIMA B-spline (degree 3)
PCHIP Piecewise Cubic Hermite Interpolating Polynomial (degree 3)
CUBIC_SPLINE Cubic spline (degree 3)
Global 2D interpolator
BILINEAR bilinear (2x degree 1)
BICUBIC bilinear (2x degree 3)
BIVARIATE_SPLINE (not checked) Smooth bivariate spline approximation (2x degree 3)

See the reference to have a look at the comparison of these methods on a validation test case.
