 * @param {number} step - Step between points. Used to calculate the number of points to return when quantity is falsey. Ignored if quantity is positive.
 * @param {number} quantity - The number of evenly spaced points from the rectangles perimeter to return. If falsey, step param will be used to calculate the number of points.
