Interpolation, Continuity, and Local Control

• Hermite/Catmull-Rom/Bezier splines (and other varieties)

  • Interpolate control points
  • Local control
  • No C2 continuity for cubics

• Natural splines

  • Interpolate control points
  • No local control - moving one control point affects whole curve
  • C2 continuity for cubics

• Summary

  • Can’t get C2, interpolation and local control with cubics - very sad.
