[OpenSCAD] What type of interpolation is this?

[runsun]

Have a code of curve interpolation that I wrote a while back but I can't
recall where I got the algorithm and now I have a doubt if I got the name
right.

For a line consists of P,Q,R,S, it goes like :

1) bisect the Q,R to make angleBisect point, Bi and Bj, respectively
2) Draw lines vertical to QBi and RBj
3) Get two handlers, Hi and Hj
4) Calc the blue line

What type of interpolation is this called?

I not sure I completely understand your explanation of the algorithm but it
seems similar to the construction of a Bezier curve to me.

Did you refer to the picture I attached with the algorithm ?

I have been thinking it's a Bezier, too, but not sure. Note that if it is
constructed iterating pair-wise through an entire series of points, the
resultant curve would pass through all the points.
