interpolated(t) component

So I am trying to solve this problem. I have a set of points and I want to create a curve that is tangent to all these points in the same direction. Basically what I want is to curve where I set the inflection points. I thought the interpolated(t) component was the answer until I looked very close. While it is much better than the regular interpolated curve, it does seem to be slightly off. Am I miss reading what this component does?

Only start and end tangents are enforced, not tangents at all interpolation points. I think your best bet is to make a series of bezier curves (points and tangents) and then join them all together into a single curve afterwards.
