There are indeed many uses for splines, and there are all sorts of neat little
tricks and things that people have come up with.   Heck, there's SO much stuff
in just the documentation that most of the time it's hard to even know what to
do with it all!

Be sure to check out http://www.f-lohmueller.de/  as well.   He's put a LOT of
