Description

hi,

i was trying to replicate the example on the readme:

grid1 = linspace(1,3,10)
sp = SplineParams(collect(grid1),0,3)  # nodes, whether only 2 nodes, degree of spline
sb = Basis(sp)
s,n = nodes(sb)
B  = BasisMatrix(sb)
ERROR: MethodError: Cannot `convert` an object of type BasisMatrices.Basis{1,Tuple{BasisMatrices.SplineParams{Array{Float64,1}}}} to an object of type BasisMatrices.BasisMatrix
This may have arisen from a call to the constructor BasisMatrices.BasisMatrix(...),
since type constructors fall back to convert methods.
Stacktrace:
 [1] BasisMatrices.BasisMatrix(::BasisMatrices.Basis{1,Tuple{BasisMatrices.SplineParams{Array{Float64,1}}}}) at ./sysimg.jl:24

Research direction

Start with the README example and the BasisMatrix(sb) call that produces the MethodError. Trace the BasisMatrix constructor or conversion for the Basis object shown in the stack trace, then verify that the example completes without this error.
