scipy.interpolate.spalde

scipy.interpolate.spalde(x, tck)

Evaluate all derivatives of a B-spline.

Given the knots and coefficients of a cubic B-spline compute all derivatives up to order k at a point (or set of points).

Parameters :

tck : tuple

A tuple (t,c,k) containing the vector of knots, the B-spline coefficients, and the degree of the spline.

x : array_like

A point or a set of points at which to evaluate the derivatives. Note that t(k) <= x <= t(n-k+1) must hold for each x.

Returns :

results : array_like

An array (or a list of arrays) containing all derivatives up to order k inclusive for each point x.
