I think that it's absolutely possible, it's just a matter of knowing exactly
what the specific equations are that POV-Ray uses to interpolate, so that the
curve displayed in JustBasic will be the same as that rendered.
I'm glad that you've been keeping up with this, as I think it's an excellent
little utility, and not only works well, but has great potential for
improvement.
I haven't had much time lately to work on the code, but I have made some
modifications which were partially for my benefit to improve readability of the
code, and other "improvements" such as "linearizing" things to get rid of gotos
and gosubs, writing some subroutines and functions, and working out some
algorithms that replace a lot of (IMO) unnecessary code.
It's still really messy since I'm in the midst of unraveling what does what and
where it needs to be, but hopefully I'll have enough time and motivation to
hammer out a rough working version that you can look at and get an idea of what
I've been playing with.
Thanks again for adding the extra features, and maybe if we can get the cubic
spline equations, we can see if there's a way to make them work in JustBasic.
