Offset Curve

feature.offset_curve

Input:

features – Feature
distance – Number
quad_segs – Number
join_style – String
mitre_limit – Number

Output:

output – Feature

Creates an offset (parallel) curve at a specified distance from the input line geometry. This can be useful for generating parallel lines or boundaries around features.

Parameters:
distance: The distance at which to offset the curve (positive for left, negative for right).
quad_segs: Number of segments to approximate quarter circles (default is 8).
join_style: Style of the joins - "round", "bevel", or "mitre" (default is "round").
mitre_limit: Limit for "mitre" join style (default is 5.0).
