Tangent Line to Two Curves (Not Circles)

[Lewis1 (Lewis)]

Hey there,

How can I get tangent straight line between these curves in Grasshopper like it is shown in the picture? Can’t find any component right now.

How to find external tangents between two closed planar curves (not circles)?

Hi, you can see in the top view two closed planar curves. The two curves are positioned in a diagonal axis. I am trying to find the two external tangents that are connecting the two curves. The problem is that I just can find tangent components that are relating to circles. I know that the two curves looking similar to a circle geometry, but because of special conditions, I can not make them perfect circular. They are more like an ellipse. Thanks a lot for your help!
