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

xarray_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.

tcktuple

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

Returns

results{ndarray, list of ndarrays}

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