GRASSHOPPER GRADIENT SUBDIVISION


This definition uses graph values to subdivide surfaces in gradient type patterns

LOGIC
1. Define a surface
2. Extract guide curves from the surface
2. Evaluate points on curves with graph values
3. Create curves from evaluated points
4. Shatter curves with graph values
5. Loft shattered curves to make sub surfaces
6. Scale sub surfaces

GH Version
0.8.0066


Tip
You can do this process also with UV domains and isotrim, which makes a
shorter definition but takes longer to compute. Try changing the type of graph 
for different data manipulation. You can use the area component instead of 
discontinuity plus average, but it takes longer to compute. Try using the same 
graph mapper method to also extrude the sub surfaces in a gradient like fashion.
