		<method name="bresenham_line">
			<return type="Vector2i[]" />
			<param index="0" name="from" type="Vector2i" />
			<param index="1" name="to" type="Vector2i" />
			<description>
				Returns the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham%27s_line_algorithm]Bresenham line[/url] between the [param from] and [param to] points. A Bresenham line is a series of pixels that draws a line and is always 1-pixel thick on every row and column of the drawing (never more, never less).
				Example code to draw a line between two [Marker2D] nodes using a series of [method CanvasItem.draw_rect] calls:
				[codeblock]
				func _draw():
				    for pixel in Geometry2D.bresenham_line($MarkerA.position, $MarkerB.position):
				        draw_rect(Rect2(pixel, Vector2.ONE), Color.WHITE)
				[/codeblock]

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

			<param index="1" name="polygon" type="PackedVector2Array" />
			<description>
				Clips [param polyline] against [param polygon] 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.

			<description>
				Mutually excludes common area defined by intersection of [param polygon_a] and [param polygon_b] (see [method intersect_polygons]) and returns an array of excluded polygons. This performs [constant OPERATION_XOR] between polygons. In other words, returns all but common area between polygons.
				The operation may result in an outer polygon (boundary) and inner polygon (hole) produced which could be distinguished by calling [method is_polygon_clockwise].

			<description>
				Inflates or deflates [param polygon] by [param delta] units (pixels). If [param delta] is positive, makes the polygon grow outward. If [param delta] 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 [param delta] 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 [param join_type], 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]

				[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);

			<param index="3" name="end_type" type="int" enum="Geometry2D.PolyEndType" default="3" />
			<description>
				Inflates or deflates [param polyline] by [param delta] units (pixels), producing polygons. If [param delta] is positive, makes the polyline grow outward.
