This ipelet draws an offset path at a given distance to a selected polyline or polygon. At corners it connects consecutive segments with arcs. Besides the offset path you can also get the area between the offset path and the original polyline/polygon.
- If you select multiple polyliens/polygons, the offset path for each of them is created. The same holds for compositions of multiple polylines/polygons.
- If you want an offset in the opposite direction, use negative numbers.
- With the option
Toggle round corners, you can turn the use of arcs for concave corners off (and on again). This is for example useful for computing the straight skeleton. - The behavior on curves is undefined.
