/*!
  \brief A class for spline interpolation

  The QwtSpline class is used for cubical spline interpolation.
  Two types of splines, natural and periodic, are supported.

  \par Usage:
  <ol>
  <li>First call setPoints() to determine the spline coefficients
      for a tabulated function y(x).
  <li>After the coefficients have been set up, the interpolated
      function value for an argument x can be determined by calling
      QwtSpline::value().
  </ol>

  \par Example:
  \code
#include <qwt_spline.h>

QPolygonF interpolate(const QPolygonF& points, int numValues)
{
    QwtSpline spline;
    if ( !spline.setPoints(points) )
        return points;

    QPolygonF interpolatedPoints(numValues);

    const double delta =
        (points[numPoints - 1].x() - points[0].x()) / (points.size() - 1);
    for(i = 0; i < points.size(); i++)  / interpolate
    {
        const double x = points[0].x() + i * delta;
        interpolatedPoints[i].setX(x);
        interpolatedPoints[i].setY(spline.value(x));
    }
    return interpolatedPoints;
}
  \endcode
