Blasted Interpolation!

Bah! I caught the sneeky buggers trying to pull a fast one on me. You animators out there will appreciate my frustration and joy, and for those of you who are not animators...well...heres the deal...

The computer likes to smooooth things out for you which is fine SOMEtimes but obviously not ALWAYS! Well, I figured this out the hard way.

Those lines are not supposed to swoop up like that between the two points...they are supposed to be as straight as an arrow, however, in the computers infamous wisdom (because I had it set to do that on accident...cough) it tries to smooth everything...sometimes even straight lines!
