A rational cubic spline with tension

Abstract A rational cubic spline curve is described which has tension control parameters for manipulating the shape of the curve. The spline is presented in both interpolatory and rational B-spline forms, and the behaviour of the resulting representations is analysed with respect to variation of the control parameters.
