SplineFunction

As of Version 7.0, some of the functionality of the Splines Package is now built into the Wolfram Language kernel. »

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.

Details and Options

  • 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.

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

Fit a Bézier spline to a set of four points:

The endpoints of the SplineFunction correspond to the original points:
