This is for using the ribbonmaker in combination with the multilos layer:
Given a ribbon {some distance away from a shape}, sample points along the ribbon every {some distance}, and print them out in a little GUI control that I can copy/paste from. The points can be used for whatever [they're semicolon-separated], but they can easily be copied into the multilos layer.
The real key is getPointsAroundPolys(), around line 413; instead of just using every inflection point along the ribbon, we calculate the distance and gracefully return points every {distance} along it, correctly subdividing long edges or crossing over short ones.
