hey
i dont know if Curve CP is what u need
what you can do is divide the curve in number of points needed (they will be the points to attach the circles or their center) and than having multiple att.points u can masure distance between att.points and curve points( for each att.point individually) than add the resulting lists or divide them or multiply by some number and so on.so in the end u come up with a list of circles and a list of their radiis..
was that any help?

cheers

Thanks Ivan, that is helpful.
A problem that do occurs for me then, is that the curve-division points don't relate to all of the attractor points. Say I have 10 division points and 2 attractor points; The first attractor points relates to the first point on the curve only, while the other relate to the rest of the points on the curve.

Any ideas of how to solve this?

Thanks,

well its pretty much the same as described above, only u just masure dist between first att point and first point in a curve ( to select only the first on a curve u can select it as a list item or lets say u create the first separetly from the others) and than have the other att.point added together to define the rest of the points...something like that
