Hi,

I'm trying to do an Offset function from a polygon.
The main polygon that I have to offset is somethings like this:

______________________
| |
| |
| |
_____| |

| |
|___________________________|


Can someone help me or send me where I can find help?

Appreciate the help.

I'm not sure what you're asking for, can you elaborate the question a bit?
Perhaps provide an example of what you're trying to calculate?

What's the question? Some specifics would help!

Explain some details:
What programming language?
What libraries, if any are you using? OpenGL, DirectX, nothing?
How are you representing the polygons?

Give us something to work with!

Depending on what your Polygon is (Image, Array of Point etc....) you might be able to use a Matrix Translation. If so Matrix Transformation of Images in C#, using .NET GDI+[^] might be of some use.

Perhaps if you explain what you're trying to do...

To offset the polygon, all you have to to is add the offset, in required dimension, to each vertex/coordinate.
