Offset

Offset[{dx, dy}, position]
gives the position of a graphical object obtained by starting at the specified position and then moving by absolute offset {dx, dy}.

MORE INFORMATION

Offset can be used to specify offsets in any two-dimensional graphics primitive.

position can be either {x, y}, Scaled[{x, y}, ...] or ImageScaled[{x, y}].

The offset is measured in units of printer's points, equal before magnification to of an inch.

Offset[{dx, dy}] can be used to specify an absolute radius in a Circle or Disk object.
