Spline
| Property | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
points | [] | Ordered points; null and nonfinite values split the path |
tension | 1 | Catmull–Rom tangent strength; 0 makes straight segments |
closed | false | Close each finite run |
space | Automatic | Use ambient data coordinates or local geometry |
A cubic spline through points. tension defaults to 1; zero makes straight segments. closed joins the final point to the first. Null/nonfinite samples separate runs. Uniform Catmull–Rom tangents may overshoot sample extrema; inference covers samples. Custom endpoint directions and monotone interpolation are deferred.
Point inputs accept {x,y} or [x,y]; see Point values.
Inside Graph, numeric geometry uses data coordinates; outside it,
geometry uses local fractions/px/em. space="local" opts out of an ambient graph,
and space="data" requires one. Pixel strokes keep their size.
Projected point inputs also accept named numeric records such as {theta, r}
or {x, y, z}; GeoMap uses {lon, lat}. Every dimension reaches the projection.
See Projections for units and visibility rules.
