what is the displayPoints node for?

[Paul Molodowitch]

So, we've recently started seeing "displayPoints" nodes crop up in some of our scenes - apparently they're part of maya's new "type" plugin (for creating 3d text).  They get created when you do "Create > Type", but for the life of me, I can't figure out what they do.  Deleting them seems to have no noticeable difference on the functionality.  Anyone know what their point is?

It’s a utility draw node used to display the Type pivot points if you turn that option on (in the animation tab).

Best,

Ian
