8.12. Splines

A Spline represents discrete data that can be interpolated by several methods. The Spline provides one independent variable and dependent variable for each data point. The interpolation methods are introduced in Interpolation Functions. Using interpolation methods such as Linear, Cubic and Akima, the Spline can give different results as shown in the figure below. Motion only supports Linear and Akima methods for an interpolation function.
