Akima is a Python library that implements Akima’s interpolation method described in:
A new method of interpolation and smooth curve fitting based on local procedures. Hiroshi Akima, J. ACM, October 1970, 17(4), 589-602.
A continuously differentiable sub-spline is built from piecewise cubic polynomials. It passes through the given data points and will appear smooth and natural.
This module is no longer being actively developed. Consider using scipy.interpolate.Akima1DInterpolator instead.
