Bezier offseting

Maybe this could be useful ;)

Here is also a demo (but in flash sorry)

And here an html5 canvas implementation using my paper: http://brunoimbrizi.com/unbox/2015/03/offset-curve/

Nice paper and really nice examples! I'm trying to think of typical use cases for this. The main thing that comes to mind for me is to create an abstraction to do varying stroke widths across a path: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1595444/experiments/Society%206/trails/index.html

What do you use this type of offsetting for?

[microbians]

Yes the process is the same, but is needed to offset for the min and max sizes, and then interpolate the data (the interpolation must be in order of path length as parametrization to be accurate). I have a sketch app (in flash is old) that works with variable offseting

Any progress here?

I don't know if it helps in any way, here is something I think similar: https://github.com/glenzli/paperjs-offset

No code committed yet, but this should be straightforward to add. I think this makes sense living in the /extras directory. Thanks for the reference!
