This definition gives attraction or repulsion forces to a curve and can switch between the two

LOGIC

1. Pull the source points to their closest point on a curve(s)
2. Measure the distance between source points and points on the curve

3. Manipulate the strength and coverage area of the forces

4. Create a switch to choose between attraction or repulsion forces

5. Use the data to control some variable (scale, height, movement, rotation, ect)

Tip

Attraction and repulsion based on distance are a major concept of associative modeling.

Try adding multiple curves by right clicking on the curve parameter and selecting set multiple curves.

This also works with curve based text from rhino. Variations in the "strength & coverage" mathematics 

such as adding sin functions, multiplications, or other functions can make the attractor / repeller have 

new and interesting results.Do not forget, the results of attractors / repellers can be used to control 

virtually anything, here we control dimensions of a box, try it for many things.
