Does anyone have a function that can create an offset polygon?<br>
<br>
In other words, if I have a polygon made up of 5 points have the same<br>
polygon shape, just a larger size?<br>

Hi Steve,<br>
<br>
These are not the same thing.<br>
<br>
If you want the same shape only larger then you are looking a scale.<br>
If you want and offset, this is MUCH more complicated because you have to deal with changes in topology, like if you have a small V shape then you offset might cause these to be removed like:<br>
<br>
----------------- offset<br>
<br>
------\ /------- curve<br>
\/<br>
<br>
or if your polygon has a hole then an offset could result in a smaller hole or with the hole getting filled in and removed. There are many cases like this. These are just a couple of examples to give you the idea.<br>
<br>
So what DO you need? Resizing via scale is easy, True offset is hard!<br>
