axis.

Example
The Amplifier normally produces maximally smooth interpolating trajectories. For this reason, the ellipse of
the previous example could be interpolated using so few points.
Accurate corners require, however, non-smooth interpolation. Specifying zero speed for the corner points
generates hard corners. The graph below shows a 2-axes synchronized PVT trajectory of an accurate
rectangle.

For the corner points, both the x and the y speeds are specified to zero.
The interpolation error for the entire rectangle is zero.

Consider the following PVT interpolation interval:
