Interpolant.js

/**
 * Abstract base class of interpolants over parametric samples.
 *
 * The parameter domain is one dimensional, typically the time or a path
 * along a curve defined by the data.
 *
 * The sample values can have any dimensionality and derived classes may
 * apply special interpretations to the data.
 *
 * This class provides the interval seek in a Template Method, deferring
 * the actual interpolation to derived classes.
 *
 * Time complexity is O(1) for linear access crossing at most two points
 * and O(log N) for random access, where N is the number of positions.
 *
 * References:
