offset

Purpose
To offset a copy of a curve.

Usage
Click the offset button to activate it. Click on the curve of which you want to offset a copy. By holding the middle mouse button pressed while moving the mouse, the distance of the offset copy to the original curve will change. If the keyboard button is active, you must enter numerical values.

Comments
The offset of the original is an approximation only; the offset of sharp curves will not be correct. The approximation will be better if more points are added in the problem regions.
