For instance, if you have the outer silhuette of a window and you want to create an inner shape that completes the window's frame you could use an offset command and get drawn a new rectangle that's parallel to the first one but some inches towards its inner side.
So, the data needed to offset a shape is a distance and a side (giving a point) or just a point to pass through. Both methods are useful, as you sometimes want to keep a distance while others you don't mind but want to pass through some special point.
