Detailed Description
A cubic polynomial without constant term.
QwtSplinePolynomial is a 3rd degree polynomial of the form: y = c3 * x³ + c2 * x² + c1 * x;
QwtSplinePolynomial is usually used in combination with polygon interpolation, where it is not necessary to store a constant term ( c0 ), as the translation is known from the corresponding polygon points.
