This function offsets a 2D curve by a given amount. If your curve is plotted, you can also pass the parent axis handle and offset by a given number of points, and it will respect the on-screen proportions.
This was initially developed to convert thick lines into patch objects before printing to eps to avoid problems with self-overlapping curves.
