As it is stated there only linera_spline is ineterpolation. b_spline and
cubic_spline is aproximation. The property of interpolation is that if you have
contol point given for some t parameter then

  Interpolation( t ) = Control_Point( t )

while in aproximation

  Interpolation( t ) <> Control_Point( t )

(Or perhaps I misunderstand your problem)
