Offsetcurvegenerator reverses line orientation?

Hi,

 

 

in my workbench I use Offsetcurvegenerators. I've noticed that the output line has a reverse orientation compared to the input line. Now that I know this, I can easily adapt my workbench to it, but I find counterintuitive. It also makes it harder to use a second Offsetcurvegenerator, since left is suddenly right, and right is left.

 

 

Is this intended behavior? If so, I would recommend documenting this in the transformer's help text.

The Right lines output from the transformer indeed were reversed. I guess such result is related to the history of the OffsetCurveGenerator, which has been derived from the Bufferer.

 

I agree that it's better to be documented.
