### `//spline <replace_node> <width_start> [<width_end=width_start> [<steps=3>]]`
Draws a curved line, using all the currently defined points as control points. The starting and ending widths of the line can be controlled, and the width will be linearly interpolated.
**Note:** `//spline` uses the **new** WorldEditAdditions positions! Use the [multipoint wand](#multi-point-wand) to define the control points for the resulting line.
For those interested, WorldEditAdditions uses the [chaikin curve algorithm](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/blog/article.php?article=posts/196-Chaikin-Curve-Generator.html) to draw the curve.

Then runs a 3x3 gaussian kernel over the result (i.e. like the `//conv` / `//smoothadv` command). `snowballs` | 2D | The default - based on [this blog post](https://jobtalle.com/simulating_hydraulic_erosion.html).
