[CSC 335] A Word of Caution on The Dog

So in section 3.5 one of the homework problems wants you to fit a 
clamped cubic spline to three sets of data that look like the outline of 
a dog.  The word of caution is that the graph that they show of points 
does not match up with the data in the tables for Curves 1-3.  For 
example, if you look at curve 2 there is a point at (20,7).  On the plot 
above data table the line is above 7 at x=20.  Since this is a node 
point the cubic spline MUST pass through that point.  Use the graph to 
help you ensure that your spline looks right, but don't expect your plot 
to match it exactly.
