# scipy.interpolate.spalde

`scipy.interpolate.``spalde`(x, tck)

  Evaluate all derivatives of a B-spline.

  Given the knots and coefficients of a cubic B-spline compute all derivatives up to order k at a point (or set of points).

  Parameters : | x : array_like A point or a set of points at which to evaluate the derivatives. Note that `t(k) <= x <= t(n-k+1)` must hold for each x. tck : tuple A tuple (t,c,k) containing the vector of knots, the B-spline coefficients, and the degree of the spline.
  Returns : | results : {ndarray, list of ndarrays} An array (or a list of arrays) containing all derivatives up to order k inclusive for each point x.
