Hello,
   Nothing remarkable here, just a demo scene from the PointArrays 
macros I just submitted to the collection.  Posting it here mainly to 
point out two features.  First, all of these objects were created using 
the same spline array.  Second, the red star outline is a (simulated) 
sphere_sweep that follows a bezier curve.  This one is 2D with a 
constant radius, but it can do 3D and varying radii as well.

The package is here for anyone who's interested:

This looks like a really interesting and useful tool, I'll be downloading it
right away.

Thanks!

Nothing remarkable?!  Quite wonderful, actually. I haven't worked with it yet,
but your example image shows off its power quite well. What a great tool!

Thanks!  If you use it, any feedback would be most appreciated. 
Additionally please let me know if there's anything about the 
documentation that is unclear, or could be improved.

Thanks much!  I hope it is useful, it arose from a (perhaps excessive) 
dislike of repeating the same code over and over.
