# scipy.interpolate.splev

`scipy.interpolate.``splev`(x, tck, der=0, ext=0)

  Evaluate a B-spline or its derivatives.

  Given the knots and coefficients of a B-spline representation, evaluate the value of the smoothing polynomial and its derivatives. This is a wrapper around the FORTRAN routines splev and splder of FITPACK.

  Parameters : | x : array_like A 1-D array of points at which to return the value of the smoothed spline or its derivatives. If tck was returned from splprep, then the parameter values, u should be given. tck : tuple A sequence of length 3 returned by splrep or splprep containing the knots, coefficients, and degree of the spline. der : int The order of derivative of the spline to compute (must be less than or equal to k). ext : int Controls the value returned for elements of `x` not in the interval defined by the knot sequence. if ext=0, return the extrapolated value. if ext=1, return 0 if ext=2, raise a ValueError The default value is 0.
  Returns : | y : ndarray or list of ndarrays An array of values representing the spline function evaluated at the points in `x`. If tck was returned from splrep, then this is a list of arrays representing the curve in N-dimensional space.
