In general, the intent of the Stineman interpolation is not so much to follow certain mathematical criteria, but more to provide a "visually pleasing" smooth interpolation. In other words: the interpolated curve typically is what the human eye would choose as smooth interpolation. It gives "goo

Hi, Given that the values of ordinates are changing monotonically, I found that in some cases, stineman interpolation is monotonic even when the slopes are not monotonic. And in other cases, it overshoots. Like in the following one: x = (0, 10, 70, 100) y = (0, 535, 595, 1000) xx = arange(0,100,1
