function mbasis = basis_matrix_hermite ( )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% BASIS_MATRIX_HERMITE sets up the Hermite spline basis matrix.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    This basis matrix assumes that the data points are stored as
%    ( P1, P2, P1', P2' ), with P1 and P1' being the data value and 
%    the derivative dP/dT at T = 0, while P2 and P2' apply at T = 1.
