The points may be anywhere within a window (i.e. not limited to increasing x values). Has anybody seen/done something like this? I would appreciate any and all help. Thank you, -sandy ------------------------- ------------------------- There are several algorithms depending on how you want to draw the smooth curve. It could be several diffrent spline (B, nu etc) that could be used with different level of complexity. My suggestion is consult a Introductory book on Graphics (By Vandam & Foley) or a Intro to Computer Aided Geometric Design book (G. Farin's book is pretty good and upto date). Good Luck. -- Anshuman Razdan ************************************************************ * razdan@toy Test and Methodology Group * * * * razdan@phx.mcd.mot.com Diablo Plant, Tempe Az * ************************************************************
