Cardinal Splines
Hi,
I know that technically this is outside the scope of this newsgroup but
searching Google Groups revealed lots of information about this topic came
from this group.
I'm trying to create a Cardinal Spline in VB and since I'm using 'classic'
version 6 and not the newer .net version I don't have access to
Graphics.DrawCurve()
Now after lots of research I keep coming back to this formula: Ti = a * (
Pi+1 - Pi-1 )
taken from this page: http://cubic.org/docs/hermite.htm as suggested by
'Dake' on here.
However I don't understand how that formula can provide a tangent.
Can someone please provide a better explanation as to how I implement it
into my program please? I've never come across a formula where the inputs
are 'fixed' and normally I can put a new value through to produce a
different output.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
