Automate NURB to Polygon

 From:  jeff (JSPRENGER)

I'm interested in automating the conversion of a closed curve (symmetrical) to a polygon.
Right now, I do it by using a polyline and clicking on points along the curve.

My sense is that this could be done in a script by choosing the number of desired segments and/or max angle between two segments.

Any suggestions or similar scripts for MOI?

Attached - original curve and my poly line tracing, which I'd like to automate.
The polygon is offset so that you can see it better.

Thanks.
