•
Matched
means that the derivative value doesn’t change from the
end of one segment to the beginning of the next (matched with previous).
•
Specified
means that the derivative value can be set at that point
on the segment (value as specified).
•
Not specified
means that the derivative value cannot be altered at that point of the
segment (no value specified).
