Hi.
I have been using the graph widget but I would like to convert a scattered set of points (X,Y) to a smooth curved line (like in the attachment).
So, giving up the graph widget, I did some research and I realized that:
- my math sucks
- probably i need to do "cubic spline interpolation" (!?)

Somebody has done this already or is willing to share some simple math example?

Thanks
(I've seen the BezieCurve in the Rasberry section but I am not sure if is the correct example to study)

Ooer: that only served to remind me that, at about 16, I got off the 'Maths Train.'

Gasp!
Not very helpful to me.
I need some LC code

Actually that Wikipedia page explains things in a comparatively comprehensible fashion.

I like to think I'm OK at maths but that wikipedia page made my eyes water...


A cursory search found this: livecode-bezier-line-demo
Untested and don't know if it will help, but worth a look...

I was alway weak at math, and yes, I immediately closed the page above when I saw it!

Ah, one of Scott Rossis stacks, can't be wrong and will surely look gorgeous!
