Hi Pitrak,

No, but I do want to add it in at some point, probably in v3 when I have a better spot to put a list of additional functions in the UI.

It's generally not possible to produce an actual offset curve by only using the same number of points except in special cases.

Offsetting changes the shape and proportions of a curve, it is not really like other transforms such as moving or rotating. Because of that the offset curve is generated by a kind of fitting process and not just by transforming control points.

I do want to try some things to reduce the complexity of offset curves in the future though.
