There's actually a fair bit of "smarts" in the smoothing factor

of simulation runs to set the table up.

Graeme,

I noticed, that the avgdev -> raw smoothness mapping is not always monotonic, i.e. I observed that the raw smoothness was minimal at a particular avgdev, and lower avgdev values resulted in a larger raw smoothness. Is there a good reason, or is it to be considered as bug? I do indeed see the need for a small minimum amount of smoothness in order that the splines become reasonably stable at all, but I don't see a need for the non-monotonicity?

Gerhard
