Hello List,
Does matplotlib have a routine that can fit a cubic Bezier curve through an array of 2D points?
I saw some Bezier routines in Path, but couldn’t find what I am looking for.
If matplotlib doesn’t have it, does anybody have another suggestion in Python?
Thanks,
Mark

As far as I know, no.
If matplotlib doesn't have it, does anybody have another suggestion in
Python?
The attached is what I have used once.
It uses scipy.interpolate.splprep to fit the input as a B-spline then
convert it to cubic bezier curve.
But I have no idea if this is the best way to do it.
The original code is from
http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/scipy-dev/2007-February/006651.html
And I only added some mpl-related things.

This looks like a pretty nice algorithm:
