Hmm, my earlier reply to this thread seems didn't seem to post properly.
Anyway....


No thoughts.  Just stairing and stairing.... :D


Actually think I do see what you mean... The stairs look a bit steeper in
the "straight-aways" than they do in the bends.  I'm assuming that's
because they're interpolated along a spline with shorter distances between
control point_1, point_2 etc relative to the different val_1, val_2 etc?
I'm new to using splines and will most likely be using them a lot more, so
I'm curious about your approach.  Is your macro one that is supposed to
create a spline that doesn't have different distances or is your macro
meant to evenly interpolate an arbitrary spline?  Or am I off the mark
altogether and there is no spline? :D

PS sorry about the bad pun
