+Splines -- version 0.2a

+

+This package consists of a few macros useful for producing cubic splines

+in MetaPost (or Metafont).

+

+Given a sequence of N+1 points, a spline is a path $z = f(t)$, $0 \le t

+\le N$, connecting them, which is a cubic function of $t$ between

+points, and has continuous first and second derivatives.

+

+Such a spline is two dimensional and can wander about anywhere in the

+picture plane. Another type of spline is one dimensional: given a

+sequence of $N$ locations $x_0 < x_1 < \dots < x_N$ on the $x$-axis and

+corresponding values $y_j$, a cubic spline interpolant is a function $y

+= f(x)$ satisfying $f(x_j) = y_j$, which is cubic between the $x_j$ and

+which has continuous first and second derivatives.

+

+With these macros one can draw two-dimensional cubic splines and the

+graphs of cubic spline interpolants.

+

+The files of this package consist of:

+    splines.dtx         The documented source code.

+    splines.ins         LaTeX this to produce the file splines.mp.

+    splines.pdf         The documentation.

+    testsplines.mp      Uses the macros to produce a few splines.

+    README              The file you are reading
