Well, since Voronoi consists of just straight lines (ie the edge of
each cell is straight) you could retranslate those 3d points as UV
points and then connect them using short path or interpCrvOnSrf.  This
wouldn't be as accurate as flowing along the surface because a flowed
line may not necessarily be the same as the geodesic that connects the
two end points, but it would be somewhat similar.  The main issue here
is that you'd have to some how extract the points that create all of
the lines, which is probably easier said than done.  After that, you'd
need a custom implementation to create the segmented lines on the
surface, but I wouldn't see that as the hardest thing...that's my take
on it at least

AFAIK FlowAlongSrf is not part of the SDK so just using that within a
scripting component is not possible.

Best,
Damien
