		<method name="clip_polygons">
			<return type="Array" />
			<argument index="0" name="polygon_a" type="PackedVector2Array" />
			<argument index="1" name="polygon_b" type="PackedVector2Array" />
			<description>
				Clips [code]polygon_a[/code] against [code]polygon_b[/code] and returns an array of clipped polygons. This performs [constant OPERATION_DIFFERENCE] between polygons. Returns an empty array if [code]polygon_b[/code] completely overlaps [code]polygon_a[/code].
				If [code]polygon_b[/code] is enclosed by [code]polygon_a[/code], returns an outer polygon (boundary) and inner polygon (hole) which could be distinguished by calling [method is_polygon_clockwise].

		<method name="clip_polyline_with_polygon">
			<return type="Array" />
			<argument index="0" name="polyline" type="PackedVector2Array" />
			<argument index="1" name="polygon" type="PackedVector2Array" />
			<description>
				Clips [code]polyline[/code] against [code]polygon[/code] and returns an array of clipped polylines. This performs [constant OPERATION_DIFFERENCE] between the polyline and the polygon. This operation can be thought of as cutting a line with a closed shape.

		<method name="offset_polygon">
			<return type="Array" />
			<argument index="0" name="polygon" type="PackedVector2Array" />

			<argument index="2" name="join_type" type="int" enum="Geometry2D.PolyJoinType" default="0" />
			<description>
				Inflates or deflates [code]polygon[/code] by [code]delta[/code] units (pixels). If [code]delta[/code] is positive, makes the polygon grow outward. If [code]delta[/code] is negative, shrinks the polygon inward. Returns an array of polygons because inflating/deflating may result in multiple discrete polygons. Returns an empty array if [code]delta[/code] is negative and the absolute value of it approximately exceeds the minimum bounding rectangle dimensions of the polygon.
				Each polygon's vertices will be rounded as determined by [code]join_type[/code], see [enum PolyJoinType].
				The operation may result in an outer polygon (boundary) and inner polygon (hole) produced which could be distinguished by calling [method is_polygon_clockwise].
				[b]Note:[/b] To translate the polygon's vertices specifically, multiply them to a [Transform2D]:
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				var polygon = PackedVector2Array([Vector2(0, 0), Vector2(100, 0), Vector2(100, 100), Vector2(0, 100)])
				var offset = Vector2(50, 50)
				polygon = Transform2D(0, offset) * polygon
				print(polygon) # prints [Vector2(50, 50), Vector2(150, 50), Vector2(150, 150), Vector2(50, 150)]
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				var polygon = new Vector2[] { new Vector2(0, 0), new Vector2(100, 0), new Vector2(100, 100), new Vector2(0, 100) };
				var offset = new Vector2(50, 50);
				// TODO: This code is not valid right now. Ping @aaronfranke about it before Godot 4.0 is out.
				//polygon = (Vector2[]) new Transform2D(0, offset).Xform(polygon);
				//GD.Print(polygon); // prints [Vector2(50, 50), Vector2(150, 50), Vector2(150, 150), Vector2(50, 150)]
