We obtain Jackson type estimates for the approximation of increasing or convex functions by splines with the same property. These estimates are new when the knots are not uniformly spaced. The method of proof motivates an algorithm for fitting a curve to data with local convexity preservation. The properties of this algorithm are developed and some examples are given.
