Akima Interpolation

Requires Python: >=3.11

Akima Interpolation
===================

Akima is a Python library that implements Akima's interpolation method
described in:

    A new method of interpolation and smooth curve fitting based on local
    procedures. Hiroshi Akima, J. ACM, October 1970, 17(4), 589-602.

A continuously differentiable sub-spline is built from piecewise cubic
polynomials. It passes through the given data points and will appear smooth
and natural.

This module is no longer being actively developed. Consider using
`scipy.interpolate.Akima1DInterpolator
<http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/interpolate.html>`_ instead.
