Interesting.  Can you suggest any good online or printed material in
this area?  I only got a general sense of your answer.  I haven't a
clue what a teardrop offset is.  Scalar offsets, sure.  Vector
offsets, sure.  Teardrop offsets?

I'm doing it because it interests me and because I don't care how
much compute time I take (for now).  This is in order to understand
the problem well.  Cutting it down can come later.

Thanks for taking the time to post that description.
