Several small weight are distributed along the length of the trip to hold it in position on the drafting table as the curve is drawn. The term spline curve originally referred to a curve drawn in this manner 1 Interpolation and approximation spline Def of control point:we specify a spline curve by giving a set of coordinate positions, called control points, which indicate the general shape of the curve. ① when polynomial sections are fitted so that all the control points connected, the resulting curve is said to interpolate the set of control points. ②When the generated polynomial curve is plotted so that some or all the control point s are not on the curve path, the resulting curve is said to approximate the set of control points. 2. the continuity conditions of curve To ensure a smooth transition from one section of a piece wise parametric spline to the next, we can impose various continuity conditions. If each section of a spline curve is described with a set of parametric coordinate functions of the form: We set parametric continuity by matching the parametric derivatives of adjoining curve section at their common boundary. 1)Parametric continuity conditions ① Zero-order parametric continuity, represented asC0 continuity. Means simply that the curves meet. That is the values of x, y and z evaluated at u2 for the first curve section are equal, respectively, to the values of x, y and z evaluated at u1 for the next curve section. Same to: x(u1)=x(u2); y(u1)=y(u2); z(u1)=z(u2) ② First-order parametric continuity, referred to as C1 continuity. Means that the first parametric derivatives (tangent lines) of the coordinate function for two successive curves sections are equal at their joining point. Same to: X’(u1)=x’(u2); y’(u1)=y’(u2); z’(u1)=z’(u2) ③ Second-order parame
