scissors structures

Hi, I´m doing my thesis about dynamic architectural structures specifically scissors structures. I 'm trying to do in grasshopper but i don´t know what steps must follow and the plugin that I need to do that. I found this link and I want to develop in this way. If someone knows how could I do can help me please?

Do yo have a [rededfiened geometry in your mind? To be honest you don't need any plugin to do this. Basic trigonometric function will do the job. Since these are simple motions in one plane, they are easy to replicate on GH. But first you need to give us an idea about your geometry. So that we could help you better.

Thanks for answering . As a first step I would like to know how the structure of scissors as such, its function ; and in the second instance suppose adapt to a geometry is simpler because it is what I guess not really know much about the program but I would love to know them better, the idea of the project is to make a dome.
