Map the points of a more complex shape to the outline of a simpler shape

Wondering whether this is something anyone has attempted to script / make a plugin for?

The use-case is just for an animated SVG – which would follow the same principle of the variable running horse…

e.g. http://jsbin.com/kirupal/edit?html,css,output

Many Thanks,

Simon

Not aware of such a plug-in. You can try one yourself.
