NAME
       KURVP1 - calculate values for KURVP2 usage


SYNOPSIS
       CALL KURVP1 (N, X, Y, XP, YP, TEMP, S, SIGMA, IER)

       This  subroutine  calculates  certain values that are used by KURVP2 in order to compute an interpolatory
       spline under tension through a sequence of points in the plane that  form  a  closed  curve.  The  actual
       computation of the interpolated values must be done using KURVP2 .


DESCRIPTION
       N           (integer,input) The number of input data points. (N > 1)

       X           (real,input) An array containing the X values of the points.

       Y           (real,input) An array containing the Y values of the points. Adjacent pairs of points must be
                   distinct.

       XP          (real,output) An array of length N.

       YP          (real,output) An array of length N.

       TEMP        (real,input) Scratch space.

       S           (real,output) An array of length N (this will be used to pass to KURVP2).

       SIGMA       (real,input) Tension factor. Values near zero result in a cubic spline;  large  values  (e.g.
                   50) result in nearly a polygonal line. A typical value is 1.

       IER         (integer,output)  An  error  return  value.  If  IER  is  returned  as 0, then no errors were
                   detected.

                   = 1 if N is less than 2.
                   = 2 if a pair of adjacent points coincide.
