Mathematica 7 introduces highly general systemwide support for splines—covering Bézier curves, B-spline curves and surfaces and NURBS curves and surfaces, all with any degree, and in any number of dimensions. In addition to complete integration with 2D and 3D graphics, as well as with interpolation, Mathematica 7 for the first time provides full exact symbolic handling of splines, making it possible to take advantage of spline methods in many new mathematical settings.
