+'''
+This tool is a helper to adjust the document border including an offset value, which is added. 
+Sending vector data to Epilog Dashboard often results in trimmed paths. This leads to wrong geometry where the laser misses to cut them.
+So we add a default (small) amount of 0.05 doc units to expand the document's canvas
