[Insight-users] Splines

[John Drozd]

A nice resource for splines is Numerical Recipies in C. It briefly describes the theory and gives the C code.  The PDF is available free online.

Or, do we transform each part separately, namely use each curve segment equation for a point within that local part? Are the weighted mean approach used for this problem? If yes, how can we calculate the weights for each part?
