// outset(d=1)            - creates a polygon at an offset d outside a 2D shape
// inset(d=1)             - creates a polygon at an offset d inside a 2D shape
// fillet(r=1)            - adds fillets of radius r to all concave corners of a 2D shape
// rounding(r=1)          - adds rounding to all convex corners of a 2D shape
// shell(d,center=false)  - makes a shell of width d along the edge of a 2D shape
//                        - positive values of d places the shell on the outside
//                        - negative values of d places the shell on the inside
//                        - center=true and positive d places the shell centered on the edge
