Anyone got the code to insert a basic spline with 2 points into a scene
Started to look up spline in the docs and its a tad daunting

Hi Niklas
Many thanks - a great helper
This is the sort of example we need in the documentation

Here's an example using the spline class:
import c4d
from c4d import gui
def main() :
myspline = c4d.SplineObject(2,c4d.SPLINETYPE_BEZIER) #Create a 2pt. Bezier spline in memory only
p1 = myspline.GetSplinePoint(0) #Assign the first point to a variable
p2 = myspline.GetSplinePoint(1) #Assign the second point to a variable
myspline.SetPoint(0, c4d.Vector(-100,0,0)) #Place the first point here
myspline.SetPoint(1, c4d.Vector(100,0,0)) #Place the second point here
myspline.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE) #Should do this any time an object's points are changed
doc.InsertObject(myspline) #Insert it into the Object Manager from memory
c4d.EventAdd() #Update C4D about the changes
if __name__=='__main__':
main()
From here.
You can use the SplineData, SplineHelper, SplineLengthData classes on it to manipulate the points, segments, tangents.

Yeah. But he was asking how to make a two point spline based on the documentation.
And you posted an example using a spline object with it's points in the same positions as two objects.
He won't learn how to use the docs from that.
So I just thought that I'd give him an example that is based closer to how it's done in the docs.
That way he can see how they work. And be able to use the other functions and classes.
