That is a great little action script! Thanks for sharing!

@manh, the code you cited updates the current x and y position of each point in the array. In the case of x, it adds half the distance between the x values of the current and previous points in the array. In the case of y, it does the same thing but also adds 1 to the distance before dividing. The equations can be read like this:

new x of current point in loop equals (x of previous point in loop minus x of current point in loop) divided by two

new y of current point in loop equals (y of previous point in loop plus 1 minus y of current point in loop) divided by two

I don’t know effect of this code

points[i].x += (points[i-1].x - points[i].x) / 2;
points[i].y += ((points[i-1].y) + 1 - points[i].y) / 2;

can you explain for me!

thank you very much.
