2d offset - controlled output

It seems that the offset component sometimes produces unpredictable results, so I decided to create a workaround.
The definition is far from perfect (no kinks allowed yet, for example) but produces a fast and accurate result for many curves. In addition it will produce multiple resulting offset curves in cases like this:

You can't achieve this result with the standard offset component nor the offset command in Rhino.

Made with GH 0.7.0052

Dude, your definition is really clever! The part where you check the intersection of every curve but not itself is really usefull. I figured it out to, but not as elegant and effective as this! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work! Cheers!
