Detailed Description

Represents a Cubic-Hermite-Polynomial.

This class is a third-order ("cubic") polynomial, so: f(t) = Dt^3 + Ct^2 + Bt + A fd(t) = 3Dt^2 + 2Ct + B fdd(t) = 6Dt + 2C

Instead of setting the polynomial coefficients directly, a third-order polynomial is also fully defined by the value and first-derivative of the start and end of the polynomial as well as the duration. This way of specifying a polynomial is called "Hermite".

See also matlab/cubic_hermite_polynomial.m for generation of derivatives.
