The offset direction is decided by G codes (G41 and G42) for cutter or
tool nose radius compensation and the sign of the compensation value
as follows.

G42 Right side offset Left side offset
The offset direction can be changed in the offset mode. If the offset
direction is changed in a block, a vector is generated at the
intersection of the tool nose radius center path of that block and the
tool nose radius center path of a preceding block.
However, the change is not available in the start-up block and the
block following it.
