An example of the Point.shiftOutwards() method

points.A = new Point(90, 70).attr("data-text", "Point A");
points.B = new Point(10, 10).attr("data-text", "Point B");
points.C = points.A.shiftOutwards(points.B, 30)
  .attr("data-text", "Point C is point A shifted 3cm\nbeyond point B")
  .attr("data-text-lineheight", 6);

paths.direction = new Path()
  .move(points.A)
  .line(points.C)
  .attr("class", "note dashed");

macro("ld", {
  from: points.C,
  to: points.B,
  d: -10
