A Spline seems a bit more complicated, but when we plot a Path, isn't it always by connecting the dots linearly?  That seems very well defined to me.  In the future it would be great to support an option for some other form of interpolation, for all continuous objects (Paths, Curve, Image, Surface), with linear/bilinear and cubic/bicubic interpolation both for plotting and for indexing.  But we can worry about that when we come to it, right?\r\n\r\nI'm not saying we need to do the interpolation for Paths slicing now; as it seems a bit tricky, but I do think it's well defined.  The underlying plotting code is doing it already, when it crops the Paths for display; we just haven't had to do that ourselves yet."}}
