[geos-devel] About LineSegment and its shifting

[???? ???????]

As I understand, Sergey want to calculate coordinates of new
LineSegment which have same count of points as base LineSegment but
shifted along the perpendicular length.
It easy to show then explain:
if we have vertical LineSegment (2 2)-(2 5)
and shifting length = 5
then result LneSegment is (7 2)-(7 5)
