Hi guys,

how would you call this simple method? I can't come up with something useful right now.
s can be both positive and negative.

Rectangle Rectangle::lookingForName(int s) const {
    return Rectangle(x() - s, y() - s, 
                     w() + 2*s, h() + 2*s);
}

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Rectangle Rectangle::CenteredExpansion(int expansion) {
   return Rectangle(x() - expansion , y() - expansion , w() + 2*expansion , h() + 2*epxansion);
}

King Piccolo will make it so Then I could just flip it with some sweet, sweet matrix math. In either case, I’ll ride this wagon until the wheels fall off. Thanks to those that keep it running

Dilate, AddSquare (addition in the sense of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_addition).

I use Shrink and Grow separately.

Dilate is definitely the term I know from image editing software.

AddBorders is another possibility.
