+
+* fill: if true, the output is a face filling the space covered by offset. If
+false, the output is a wire.
+
+* openResult: affects the way open wires are processed. If False, an open wire
+is made. If True, a closed wire is made from a double-sided offset, with rounds
+around open vertices.
+
+* intersection: affects the way compounds are processed. If False, all children
+are offset independently. If True, and children are edges/wires, the children
+are offset in a collective manner. If compounding is nested, collectiveness
+does not spread across compounds (only direct children of a compound are taken
+collectively).
+
+Returns: result of offsetting (wire or face or compound of those). Compounding
+structure follows that of source shape.</UserDocu>
