I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. If you want a smoother curve rather than straight line segments between those points you have a couple of options:
- Generate>Polynomial Curve Fit (or "More Curve Fits" with the licensed version) and specify a large number of points in the fitted curve. You'll still get straight line segments, of course, but with a much smaller spacing between points the curve will appear to be smooth.
- Edit>Equal Intervals with Cubic Spline selected and a small interval - say 0.001 or so. Same qualifier as above applies: You'll still get straight line segments, but it will appear smooth.
If I've completely misunderstood your question please let me know.
