## lineOffset

Takes a [line][1] and returns a [line][1] at offset by the specified distance.

**Parameters**

-   `geojson` **([Geometry][2] \| [Feature][3]&lt;([LineString][4] \| [MultiLineString][5])>)** input GeoJSON
-   `distance` **[number][6]** distance to offset the line (can be of negative value)
-   `options` **[Object][7]** Optional parameters (optional, default `{}`)
    -   `options.units` **[string][8]** can be degrees, radians, miles, kilometers, inches, yards, meters (optional, default `'kilometers'`)

**Examples**

```javascript
var line = turf.lineString([[-83, 30], [-84, 36], [-78, 41]], { "stroke": "#F00" });

var offsetLine = turf.lineOffset(line, 2, {units: 'miles'});

//addToMap
var addToMap = [offsetLine, line]
offsetLine.properties.stroke = "#00F"
```

Returns **[Feature][3]&lt;([LineString][4] \| [MultiLineString][5])>** Line offset from the input line
