Rhino script question

[sdantonio]

Hi all,

I hope this will be pretty simple.

1. OK, lets say I have a curve that is constrained to the x-y plane

2. The curve is well behaved acording to the definition of a well behaved curve in calculus in relation to the y-axis (the cure in the diagram fits that discription)

3. I can write a script to increment up the y-axis, that is just a trivial loop. in pedocode this would be

x=y=z=0
for i=1 to 10
x=0
y=i
z=0
next x

4. lets say I want to find the distance from the y axis to the curve at each point y=1, 2, 3,..., 10

because the curve is wavy, that distance will change with each step up the y axis.

Any ideas?

Thank you
Steven
