offset_line
- compas.geometry.offset_line(line, distance, normal=[0.0, 0.0, 1.0])[source]
Offset a line by a distance.
- Parameters:
- line[point, point] |
compas.geometry.Line A line defined by two points.
- distancesfloat or list[float]
The offset distance as float. A single value determines a constant offset. A list of two offset values can be used to a create variable offset at the start and end.
- normal[float, float, float] |
compas.geometry.Vector, optional The normal of the offset plane.
- line[point, point] |
- Returns:
- tuple[[float, float, float], [float, float, float]]
Two points defining the offset line.

Notes
The offset direction is chosen such that if the line were along the positve X axis and the normal of the offset plane is along the positive Z axis, the offset line is in the direction of the postive Y axis.
