Not the case here

No

I suspect the trouble is here. I have a spline made up of 18 components, 
Val_1 to Val_18 going from 0.00 to 1.70 in steps of 0.10. It looks like 
the spline stops at Val_11 with value 1.00. However, in the example 
given in the Docs, values higher than 1.00 (and lower than 0.00) are 
given. So, what's up?

I shall renumber the Val_n parameters to keep them within the 0.00-1.00 
range and see what happens. Still, I am confused where the documentation 
is concerned.
