I think some of these let you manually set various parameters too to make
it look right - if the OP follows my advice,tries to define smooth in terms
of something data-relevant probably related to properties of derivatives, 
he will probably get to a point
where he can have more parameters than data and can set these things
to suite his imagination or artistic inclinations :)
