Introduction

All Curves and Patches utilised by POVRay are influenced by a number of control points. All curves pass through the start and the end control point, while most of the curves pass through the intermediate control points.

Splines

Splines may be of Linear, Quadratic or Cubic type of Spline and are accessed with the command #spline as shown below.
