        <summary>Spline Deformation (Node + Modifier)

The Spline Deformation allows you to deform an mesh along an axis, using a spline as the target shape.

There a node to be used in the Nodal Displacement editor located in the Primitive/Geometry tab of a mesh.

db&amp;w Spline Displacement is also available as a modifier for the object/displacement tab.</summary>

This node evaluates the distance to a point on a spline and outputs a displacement to that closest point.

The accuracy of this node relies on the number of Evaluation Steps defined in the Spline Primitive or the Spline Preferences.

This roadmap has a full set of spline related tools in Layout as a goal.
Since we want to release at least one new plugin every month to our patrons, the development is split up into small steps, each of which adds to the capabilities of the spline toolkit.</summary>
