Hello,

I am trying to recreate this pattern:

 ![60c36cb3c50bd8771e5c62134311ae48](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/mcneel/uploads/default/original/4X/2/9/f/29fa497d772f5c72b87f5276d1ac2f8ca8a160b2.jpeg)

So far I managed to achieve this:

 ![diamond pattern](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/mcneel/uploads/default/original/4X/9/1/6/9166ea77e1d2f1562644f2608dd2f85011255844.png)  
[Diamond Pattern.gh](https://discourse.mcneel.com/uploads/short-url/eGMD9Vpmr66aQxmVknoKkoHyz8I.gh) (16.4 KB)

The problem now is that I don’t really know how to maintain the same distance between cells so the pattern appears “curved” like in the reference photo. Since each row has elements of the same area I thought of somehow grouping them and make them move for distance that would be related to their area? I am really struggling with this one, I’ll be really thankful if anyone could help me with this task.

EDIT: In the file I attached cells are not of the same area in each row, since the atractor I used is a point, not a line. Excuse my mistake.

Have a great day!

Looks to be a simple overlapping of circles.

- draw a circle
- make copies by offsetting, say in x direction, play with spacing to get desired pattern
- you can use as is, or take intersection points and draw a polyline, if that is what you want
