aspline - Akima spline interpolation

Bugs
If you need a continuous second derivative, use spline from the plotutils package instead.
Debian January 1998 SPLINE(1)
Description
aspline reads pairs of numbers from the indicated file(s) (or from stdin if no files were given) as
abscissas and ordinates of a function. It produces a similar set, which is approximately equally spaced
and includes the input set on standard output. The output is an Akima-interpolated spline which has an
continuous first derivative. The second derivate may be discontinuous, but the output does not wiggle as
it would do with cubic splines.
Datasets are separated by blank lines.
Name
aspline - Akima spline interpolation
Options
-aincr, --auto=incr
supply abscissas automatically, since they are missing from the input; spacing is given by the
next argument, or is assumed to be 1, if next argument is not a number.
-lllim, --llimit=llim
set lower x-limit to llim,
-uulim, --ulimit=ulim
set upper x-limit to ulim,
-nn, --points=n
space output points so that approx. n intervals occur between the lower and upper limit,
-v be verbose,
-h print help message on stderr and exit.
