Oh Lucy! You got some splinin' to do!

Do any of you understand splines well? Specifically Cubic B-Curves?

I have some data that I'm trying to render in SVG. My data looks like this:

• Curve type (in this case, Cubic B-Spline)
• Resolution (as a float)
• A start parameter (float) and an end parameter (float)
• An array of points (float x and float y)

I'm trying to figure out how to represent this information as an SVG path. Specifically, SVG uses "control points" to indicate how the curve is formed. But I don't understand these curves well enough to figure out the math.

I just know how to use vector programs like Inkscape. Sorry, wish I could help.
