+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

+% \StopEventually{\PrintIndex}
+% A cubic spline through a set of points is a curve obtained by joining
+% each point to the next with a cubic parametrized curve, where adjoining
+% cubics must have matching first and second derivative at their common
+% point.
+%
+% It is possible for \MP{} to compute the necessary controls.
+% Unfortunately, the controls are not uniquely determined unless the curve
+% is required to be closed. For open curves, there is need for two
+% additional equations at the end points. A `relaxed spline' is produced
+% if we require that the second derivative is $(0,0)$ at those points.
+% For a closed curve, the equality of the first and second derivatives at
+% the common beginning/ending point gives the needed additional equations.
+%
+% Note that this equates \emph{time} derivatives, so this works best when
+% points are relatively evenly spaced and so the speed is relatively
+% uniform. If points are differently spaced then the relatively slower
+% speed between closely spaced points allows sharper turns without large
+% second derivatives. Curves produced tend to have a more natural look,
+% and relaxed splines are most suitable for smoothing data that is
+% obtained by taking observations at evenly spaced times. Still, the
+% technique is somewhat unstable when points are closely spaced, for
+% example when a small change in the position of one point can produce a
+% large change in its direction when viewed from another point.
+%
+% Start with version control information.

+% \DescribeRoutine{list_to_array}
+% Now for a command that takes a variable name \gbc{(suffix arr)} and
+% copies a list of pairs to \mfc{arr1}, \mfc{arr2}, etc..
+% The suffix must be declared by the calling program so that \mfc{arr}
+% is numeric but \mfc{arr[\,]} are pairs, for example by ``\mfc{save arr; pair
+% arr[\,];}''.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+def list_to_array (suffix arr) (text list) =
+  arr := 0;
+  for _itm = list :
+    arr[incr arr] := _itm;
+  endfor
+enddef;
+
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \DescribeRoutine{compute_spline}
+% In this command we generate the equations common to all cubic
+% splines: the equality of derivatives at all interior points.
+% This command accepts three suffixes: \gbc{points}, \gbc{pr}, and
+% \gbc{po} which should represent previously declared arrays of pairs.
+% \gbc{points} is the array of points to be connected, and must be known.
+% Arrays \gbc{pr} and \gbc{po} \emph{must} be unknown and will hold the
+% computed control points. See the code of \mfc{mkrelaxedspline} for
+% an example of how this was arranged for the variables \mfc{rs_pr} and
+% \mfc{rs_po}.
+%
+% Contrary to the previous (unreleased) version, \mfc{compute_spline}
+% takes a boolean argument and appends the same equations at the first (=
+% last) point.
+%
+% \DescribeRoutine{mkrelaxedspline}
+% The first of these macros appends the necessary additional equations to
+% get zero second derivatives at the ends.
+% \DescribeRoutine{mkclosedspline}
+% The second simply calls \mfc{compute_spline} with the boolean set to
+% true. Both return the computed path. In theory the knowledgeable user
+% can call \gbc{compute_spline (false)}, append a choice of equations for
+% the ends, and then call \gbc{mksplinepath (false)}.
+%
+% \DescribeRoutine{dospline}
+% This version accepts a list of pairs and produces a spline through
+% them. It simply stores the list in an array and calls the appropriate
+% version that operates on an array.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+def compute_spline (expr closed) (suffix points, pr, po) =
+  % interior equations:
+  for j= 2 upto points - 1 :
+    % equate first derivatives:
+    po[j] + pr[j] = 2 points[j];
+    %   and second derivatives:
+    pr[j+1] + 2 pr[j] = 2 po[j] + po[j-1];
+  endfor
+  % for a closed curve, the first and last are also interior:
+  if closed:
+   po 1 + pr 1 = 2 points 1;
+   po[points] + pr[points] = 2 points[points];

+% The above computations produce a $2$-dimensional spline. A $1$-dimensional
+% cubic spline would be a function $f(t)$ with numeric values rather
+% than pair values. Such are often used to interpolate functions. That is,
+% given pairs $(x\sb j,y\sb{j})$, and assuming they lie on the graph of
+% some function (generally unknown), fill in the graph with $y = f(x)$
+% where $f$ is a cubic function of $x$ in each interval $x\sb j < x < x\sb
+% {j+1}$, making sure that the resulting graph is as smooth as possible at
+% the points $x\sb j$.
+%
+% The requirements on our $2$-dimensional path are the following:
+% \begin{enumerate}
+%   \item The $j$th link should connect $(x\sb{j},y\sb{j})$ to $(x\sb{j+1},
+%       y\sb{j+1})$.
+%   \item The $x$-part of that link should increase linearly from $x\sb{j}$ to
+%     $x\sb{j+1}$ as $t$ goes from $0$ to $1$.
+%   \item The $y$-part should be a cubic $y = f(x)$.
+%   \item The $x$-derivatives $df/dx$ and $d^2f/dx^2$ should match at the
+% connecting points.
+% \end{enumerate}
+%
+% Two necessary equations for converting between $x$ and $t$ coordinates
+% are:
+% \begin{equation}\label{first}
+%         x = x\sb{j} + t \Delta x\sb{j}
+% \end{equation}
+% (where $\Delta x\sb{j} = x\sb{j+1} - x\sb{j}$) and
+% \begin{equation}\label{second}
+%       \frac{df}{dt} = \frac{dx}{dt}\frac{df}{dx} = (x\sb{j+1} -
+%       x\sb{j}) \frac{df}{dx}.
+% \end{equation}
+% Thus we want to choose controls so that (\ref{first}) is maintained and
+% so that $x$-derivatives match. It turns out that this requires controls
+% at
+% \begin{equation}
+% \begin{array}{c}
+%   (x\sb{j}, y\sb{j}) - (\Delta x\sb{j-1}, s\sb{j} \Delta x\sb{j-1})/3\\
+%   (x\sb{j}, y\sb{j}) + (\Delta x\sb{j}  , s\sb{j} \Delta x\sb{j}  )/3
+% \end{array}
+% \end{equation}
+% where $s\sb{j}$ is the slope (derivative) at $x\sb{j}$. These control
+% points will produce matching slopes regardless of the values
+% chosen for the $s\sb j$. To get matching second derivatives we need the
+% same conditions as in parametric splines. But those equations simplify
+% to the form:
+% \begin{displaymath}
+%  s\sb{j+1} dx\sb{j} - 2s\sb{j} (dx\sb{j} + dx\sb{j-1}) +
+%       s\sb{j-1}dx\sb{j-1}
+%           =  3y\sb{j+1} - 3y\sb{j-1}.
+% \end{displaymath}
+% As with 2-D splines there can be almost any equations at the end points.
+% For a relaxed spline we equate the second derivatives to 0. To get a
+% periodic function, we equate the slope and second derivative at
+% beginning to those at the end. This makes it possible to put a shifted
+% copy of the graph with starting point at the end of the original and
+% have the same smoothness at that connection as at the other points.
+%
+% \DescribeRoutine{compute_fcnspline}
+% This issues the equation for the slopes (array \gbc{sl} of
+% \emph{unknown} numerics). The array \gbc{points} contains the $(x,y)$
+% values and \gbc{dx} is a temporary numeric array which will be
+% overwritten if known.
+%
+% \DescribeRoutine{mkfcnsplinepath}
+% This simply assembles the path from the information computed by the
+% above equations (and the extra equations given in the calling command).
+%
+% \DescribeRoutine{mkrelaxedfcnspline}
+% This sets up arrays for the  \gbc{dx} and \gbc{sl} parameters of
+% \mfc{compute_fcnspline}, emit the necessary endpoint equations (zero
+% second derivatives) and calls the previous two routines.
+%
+% \DescribeRoutine{mkperiodicfcnspline}
+% This does the same as the previous command, but the endpoint equations
+% make the first and second derivatives at the start equal to those at
+% the end.
+%
+% \DescribeRoutine{fcnspline}
+% Finally, this command copies a list of pairs into an array and calls the
+% appropriate command to process them.
