interesting potential for point pattern intensity surfaces in NLMPy + inhomogeneous poisson process point pattern sampler

[ljwolf]

As part of my continued working around this point pats content, I stumbled upon NLMPy by @tretherington et al.

One thing I'd intended for the long-range plan of pointpats was @giuliaok's python implementation of an inhomogeneous K function estimator. As part of that, @giuliaok also built a tool to inhom. poisson point process simulation. That, hooked up on top of the NLMPy DGPs (like for Perlin & other gradient noise), could be very helpful indeed for folks working in point pattern stuff in python.

Hey @ljwolf (nice to cross paths again 😄), just noting that the user support for NLMpy is in need of an overhaul as it's developed quite a bit since the original publication a decade ago, but the documentation and examples have failed to keep up. While I have aspirations to develop that, I'm failing to get funding to work on that right now, so if you need anything about NLMpy explained I'd be very happy to help if I can.
