I have two points and I want a point midway along the length between the two. I could get the vector between the two and the distance and then probably whip something up using that, but I figure there must be a more direct way. Any ideas? thanks!

Then get the new extremity. Otherwise, I think the coordinates of the mid-way is just (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2
