segments (ie. polylines)
2 = conic section (ie. arcs, circles, ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas)
3 = standard freeform curve
5 = smoother freeform curve
The higher the degree, the less effect a single control-point has on the curve, but the further that weak effect reaches. Degree=5 curves are smoother, but it's also harder to add local details to it without adding a lot of control points. Rhino supports curves up to degree=11, but you almost never need more than 5.…
in the desired order.
0 = 0
1 = 1
2 = 6
3 = 7
4 = 8
5 = 9
6 = 12
7 = 13
8 = 2
9 = 3
10 = 4
11 = 5
12 = 10
13 = 11
Where the first number is the index and the second number is the actual sorting key. Then you sort these keys while sorting your curves in parallel using the A input of the Sort component.

each circle's border, let us say 1.0
3) So, the curve will end up with 5 points, in each point will have a circle, each circle will have a different Radius, but the distance in between the borders of each circle is always the same = 1.0 in this case.
4) The end result list here would be like this to evaluate a curve with these values and find the points on the curve:
List = 1, 5, 11, 19 etc If I use these values to eval a line, I will get the perfect points where I can draw the circles.
…
First use a series component with start=1, step=42, count=3
Use the output to create a new series component with start=existingseries, step=1, count=11
