Hi Istvan,
You are likely to get much better solutions, but here is one way (cheating
somewhat):
f == Interpolation[{{0, 1}, {1, 2}, {2, 3}, {3, 5}, {4, 8}, {5, 5}, {6,
2}, {7, 1}, {8, 1}, {9, 2}, {10, 4}}];
lowRes == Range[0, 10, 2];
eps == 0.001;
cutF == Function[
Evaluate[
Module[{x},
Total[UnitStep[x - # + eps]*UnitStep[# + eps - x] & /@
lowRes] /. x -> #]]];
Plot[f[x]*cutF[x], {x, 0, 10}, PlotRange -> {{0, 10}, {0, 9}},
PlotPoints -> 10000, PlotStyle -> {Thickness[0.005]}]
If your f[x] is expensive to compute, you can define f[x]cutF[x] as a single
function and
compute f[x] lazily only when cutF[x] is non-zero.

Leonid
