✦ Synopsis

In this paper a class of C 2 ∩ F C 3 spline curves possessing tension properties is described. These curves can be constructed using a simple modification of the well-known geometric construction of C 4 quintic splines; therefore their shape can be easily controlled using the control net. Their applications in approximation and interpolation of spatial data will be discussed.
