In the base article of this thread, whose reference I have alas
misplaced, a request is made for code to fit a cubic spline through
a data set of non-equidistant points.
One other point... If you need a higher degree of smoothness than
the usual cubic spline, you might consider *Hermite* splines. The
(excellent, superb, ++good, highly recommended) book
David Kahaner, Cleve Moler, Stephen Nash
"Numerical Methods and Software"
Prentice-Hall 1989 0-13-627258-4
discusses Hermite splines, and suggests using the PCHIP package to
manipulate them. The book comes with Fortran code on floppy disk;
I suspect PCHIP itself can be had separately from netlib et al, but
I'm not sure just how or where.
