Well well ...:-p

I posted few weeks ago about a spline editor plugin.(though I can't find my
previous post now)
I know Mike Weber's B-Spline but  it exports a lot of objects (but only
spheres, cylinders or triangles) along a spline and not the spline itself
It 'd be usefull to have a spline creator/editor that displays the spline of
the selected type (linear, quadratic, cubic or natural )and exports just the
spline declaration for a later use in InsertCode or POV-include
