SplineFunction

SplineFunction[type, domain, internal]
represents a spline function created by the SplineFit function parametrizing a curve with the parameter in the specified domain. When given a parameter value as an argument it returns the corresponding point on the curve.

MORE INFORMATION

To use SplineFunction, you first need to load the Splines Package using Needs["Splines`"].

The SplineFunction object generated with SplineFit[{pt₁, pt₂, ...}, type] is parametrized such that a parameter value of 0 corresponds to pt₁, 1 corresponds to pt₂, etc.

Supported types are Cubic, Bezier and CompositeBezier.
