Bezier curves
From JSXGraph Wiki
The red points are connected by a cubic Bezier curve. The blue points are the control points.
The underlying JavaScript code
var brd = JXG.JSXGraph.initBoard('jxgbox',{boundingbox:[-4,4,4,-4],keepaspectratio:true,axis:true});
var p = [];
var col = 'red';
p.push(brd.create('point',[2,1],{strokeColor:col,fillColor:col})); // data point
col = 'blue';
p.push(brd.create('point',[0.75,2.5],{strokeColor:col,fillColor:col})); // control point
p.push(brd.create('point',[-0.3,0.3],{strokeColor:col,fillColor:col})); // control point
col = 'red';
p.push(brd.create('point',[-3,1],{strokeColor:col,fillColor:col})); // data point
col = 'blue';
p.push(brd.create('point',[-0.75,-2.5],{strokeColor:col,fillColor:col})); // control point
p.push(brd.create('point',[1.5,-2.8],{strokeColor:col,fillColor:col})); // control point
col = 'red';
p.push(brd.create('point',[2,-0.5],{strokeColor:col,fillColor:col})); // data point
var c = brd.create('curve', JXG.Math.Numerics.bezier(p),
{strokecolor:'blue', strokeOpacity:0.6, strokeWidth:5});
