how do you want to manipulate them?

hi luis

i would like to be able to control the radius of each circle seperately so i can gradually scale the circles down at either end.

is this hard to do?

thanks for your reply :-)

Hi Rachel,

Let me guess Chelsea fan.

If you want to specifically select an individual curve from a list then the list item is the weapon of choice. However if you want to scale every curve differently I would suggest making a series of scale factors the same length as the number of curves and using this or creating a set of rules to determine what they should be scaled by for example the distance from an object. in the example below I have the distance from a specific curve in the series obtained from list Item component.

I saw the Burnley vs Chelsea reference and picked you as London based, but as you say missed by a mile. For me geographically Liverpool's actually closest but I'm not really a fan.

Do you want to taper off at each end within a certain distance? If so I've got an idea that might work.

Try this..taper.png

Note that the min component and the min function give the same result.
