<dd><p>Computes the polynomial interpolation by the cubic splines method. Argument <var>points</var> must be either:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
a two column matrix, <code>p:matrix([2,4],[5,6],[9,3])</code>,
</li><li>
a list of pairs, <code>p: [[2,4],[5,6],[9,3]]</code>,
</li><li>
a list of numbers, <code>p: [4,6,3]</code>, in which case the abscissas will be assigned automatically to 1, 2, 3, etc.
</li></ul>

<p>In the first two cases the pairs are ordered with respect to the first coordinate before making computations.
</p>
<p>There are three options to fit specific needs:
</p><ul>
<li>
<code>'d1</code>, default <code>'unknown</code>, is the first derivative at <em>x_1</em>; if it is <code>'unknown</code>, the second derivative at <em>x_1</em> is made equal to 0 (natural cubic spline); if it is equal to a number, the second derivative is calculated based on this number.

</li><li>
<code>'dn</code>, default <code>'unknown</code>, is the first derivative at <em>x_n</em>; if it is <code>'unknown</code>, the second derivative at <em>x_n</em> is made equal to 0 (natural cubic spline); if it is equal to a number, the second derivative is calculated based on this number.

</li><li>
<code>'varname</code>, default <code>'x</code>, is the name of the independent variable.
</li></ul>
