Usando a seguinte função, pode-se ajustar um spline cúbico nos pontos de entrada P:

def plotCurve(P):
  pts = np.vstack([P, P[0]])
  x, y = pts.T
  i = np.arange(len(pts))

  interp_i = np.linspace(0, i.max(), 100000 * i.max())

  xi = interp1d(i, x, kind='cubic')(interp_i)  
  yi = interp1d(i, y, kind='cubic')(interp_i)

  fig, ax = plt.subplots()
  fig,ax=plt.subplots()
  ax.plot(xi, yi)
  ax.plot(x, y, 'ko')
  #plt.show()
  return xi,yi

Os pontos de entrada P podem ter a seguinte forma:

P=[(921,1181),(951,1230),(993,1243),(1035,1230),
    (1065,1181),(1045,1130),(993,1130),(945,1130)]

Agora, desejo tornar esses pontos de P arrastáveis, de modo que, quando mudamos a posição de qualquer ponto, o spline seja reajustado nos novos pontos.

Agora, o que desejo fazer é substituir o acessório de polígono pela minha função de ajuste de spline. Como sou novo nisso, não sou capaz de descobrir como fazê-lo. Existe alguma maneira de manter todas as mesmas funcionalidades, mas apenas para ajustar o spline em vez de polígono nos pontos indicados, tornando-o interativo e reajustando o spline conforme o movimento do ponto?

Meu spline ficaria assim:

Como devo fazer isso?

Ou, se houver outro método adequado para obter o mesmo, por favor, recomende.

Sugestões também são bem-vindas usando o MATLAB.
