This paper deals with the construction of the Algebraic Trigonometric Pythagorean Hodograph (ATPH) cubic-like Hermite interpolant. A characterization of solutions according to the tangents at both ends and a global free shape parameter α is performed. Since this degree of freedom can be used for adjustments, we study how the curve evolves with respect to α. Several examples illustrating the construction process and a simple fitting method to determine the unique ATPH curve passing through a given point are proposed.
