| Mar 2, 2022 at 21:05 | comment | added | Googlebot | I thought of a cubic spline, as I used one to draw the red line. The point is that I could not find a general rule for the place of control points. I can visually find a rule, but what is the mathematical rule for the changes in the coordinates of the control points changing the black line into the blue line? | |
