All, Wondering, would this work for INSIDE/OUTSIDE situations with regard to polygon drawing? Or is the left/right sides of the line strictly relying on the from/to aspects of how the polygon was drawn (clockwise/counterclockwise) This would be handy for off-setting to (ONLY) the inside of a polygon for example.
