For each control point, the line may pass through (interpolate) the control point or it may only approach (approximate) the control point; the behaviour is determined by a shape parameter for each control point. </p> <p>If the shape parameter is greater than zero, the spline approximates the control points (and is very similar to a cubic B-spline when the shape is 1). If the shape parameter is less than zero, the spline interpolates the control points (and is very similar to a Catmull-Rom spline when the shape is -1). If the shape parameter is 0, the spline forms a sharp corner at that control point. </p> <p>For open xsplines, the start and end control points must have a shape of 0 (and non-zero values are silently converted to zero without warning). </p> <p>For open xsplines, by default the start and end control points are actually replicated before the curve is drawn. A curve is drawn between (interpolating or approximating) the second and third of each set of four control points, so this default behaviour ensures that the resulting curve starts at the first control point you have specified and ends at the last control point. The default behaviour can be turned off via the <code>repEnds</code> argument, in which case the curve that is drawn starts (approximately) at the second control point and ends (approximately) at the first and second-to-last control point. </p> <p>The <code>repEnds</code> argument is ignored for closed xsplines. </p> <p>Missing values are not allowed for <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> (i.e., it is not valid for a control point to be missing). </p> <p>For closed xsplines, a curve is automatically drawn between the final control point and the initial control point. </p> <h3>Value</h3> <p>A grob object. </p> <h3>References</h3> <p>Blanc, C. and Schlick, C.
