Function offset_intrinsic3

Source
pub fn offset_intrinsic3(
    curve: &Intrinsic3,
    distance: f64,
) -> Result<Intrinsic3, GeomError>
Expand description

Offset a space curve by distance along its principal normal.

Exact for a helix, where the offset is a coaxial helix. Refused for any varying law, because the offset is not unit speed and an Intrinsic3 stores arc length: re-fitting would silently change the curve.
