If you wanted to smoothly join spline1 and spline2:
1)the endpoint of spline1 must be in the same location as the start point of
spline2
2) the last control point of spline1, the endpoint of spline1/start point of
spline2, and the first control point of spline2 must be co-linear.
The discontinuity is caused by the change in slope between the control points
and their respective endpoint. Note that the line between a control point and
its nearest endpoint form a line that has the slope of the curve at the
endpoint. If you make the slopes of the two adjacent splines different, then
they do not connect smoothly.
