OFFSET

The OFFSET keyword allows you to apply an offset on the horizontal and vertical coordinates, before they are used for drawing. For speed reasons, the offset is performed when the point is drawn on the screen and not when the actual coordinates are calculated. To apply an offset that respects the coordinate system, it is recommended to use the ORIGIN command.
