Spline A method to mathematically smooth spatial variation by adding vertices along a line. See densify for a slightly different method for adding vertices.
splineA mathematical curve used to smoothly represent spatial variation. A spline operation inserts vertices to create a curve in an arc. See also grain tolerance and densify.
Spline Uses a spline interpolation between key frames at the selected tension.
Tension Sets the tension of the spline interpolation.

spline
In mathematics, a piecewise polynomial function used to approximate a smooth curve in a line or surface.
SPLINE FUNCTIONS IN SPATIAL INTERPOLATION ARE FORMED BY PIECING TOGETHER SUCCESSIVE CURVE SEGMENTS INVOLVING RELATIVELY FEW POINTS AT A TIME AND SHOULD BE CLOSELY RELATED TO THE VALUE BEING INTERPOLATED; THEY ARE ANALYTIC; AND ARE FLEXIBLE.

2 Regularized smoothing spline with tension
The first wide-spread commercial 3D modeling program package (Smith and Paradis 1989) used the three dimensional extension of the two dimensional spline interpolation worked out by (Briggs 1973).

This is done by fitting a spline curve to the contour vertices. This is a good quick and dirty technique to make the models look more logically convincing than they otherwise would be without information about what happens between the contours.
6. What happens to B-splines when posted to a Geodatabase?
Extraction or posting of B-splines is not supported.
7. Are coordinate systems maintained/understood between the two disparate systems?
There are Text tools available for drop-shadow text and spline text. The table below shows the Text tools and examples of how they look in the view.
Here is a surface generated from the Pack Forest CFI plot centers using a Regularized Spline method. Red indicates low standing wood volume and green indicates high standing wood volume for conifer trees in 1994.
These three techniques are Linear interpolation, which effectively runs a straight line between the points with altitude values, the Cubic Spline, which interpolates a smooth curve through the given data points, ...
Compare with spline and grain tolerance. descriptive data Tabular data describing the characteristics of geographic features. Can include numbers, text, images, and CAD drawings about features.
The buffers around the square feature show that these two approaches can have radically different results. You can even take an additional step and fit a spline-fitting algorithm to smooth the lines.
See spline for a different method for adding vertices. Developable Surface The surface onto which a map projection is projected. This may be a plane, cylinder or cone.
] spline p. 62 a smooth curve that models the behavior of a thin spring (with a given modulus of elasticity) constrained to pass through specified points. SQL p.
