Mean Curve calculation

Hi,

I am new in python scripting and I was trying to do a simple exercise just to understand better the procedures. I know that there are already some functions to do it but just to practice I was trying to do it own my own. Therefore, can I get some advice how to finish this script? The only thing I am missing is how I should select the points from the list to create the mean curves...

Thank you.

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs

curve01 = rs.GetObject("Select First Curve")
curve02 = rs.GetObject("Select Second Curve")
numOfCurves = rs.GetInteger("Insert Number of Curves", 5)
curveRes = rs.GetInteger("Number of Control Points", 20)

ptRef = []

ptCurve01 = rs.DivideCurve(curve01, curveRes - 1, False, True)
ptCurve02 = rs.DivideCurve(curve02, curveRes - 1, False, True)

for i in range(0, len(ptCurve01)):
refLine = rs.AddLine(ptCurve01[i], ptCurve02[i])
myPoints = rs.DivideCurve(refLine, numOfCurves - 1, False, True)
ptRef.append(myPoints)

for i in range (0, len(ptRef)):
for j in range (0, numOfCurves):
pt = rs.AddPoint(ptRef[i][j])
myPts.append[pt]
rs.AddCurve(pt)

Hi Dioniso, this could be a way to do it:

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs


curve01 = rs.GetObject("Select First Curve")
curve02 = rs.GetObject("Select Second Curve")
numOfCurves = rs.GetInteger("Insert Number of Curves", 5) - 1
curveRes = rs.GetInteger("Number of Control Points", 20)

ptCurve01 = rs.DivideCurve(curve01, curveRes - 1, False, True)
ptCurve02 = rs.DivideCurve(curve02, curveRes - 1, False, True)

myPts = []

for i in range(0, len(ptCurve01)):
    refLine = rs.AddLine(ptCurve01[i], ptCurve02[i])
    myPoints = rs.DivideCurve(refLine, numOfCurves, False, True)
    myPts += myPoints

for i in range(0, numOfCurves):
    rs.AddCurve([e for e in myPts if myPts.index(e) % 5 == i])
