    """Returns list polygons dilated and eroded by an offset.
    Cleans min width gap and acute angle DRC errors equal to distances.
    Args:
        component: Component containing polygons to offset.
        layers: list of layers to remove min gap errors.
        distances: Distance to offset polygons.
            By expanding and shrinking it merges polygons.
            If you want to fix min gaps of 0.5 use 0.5.
        precision: Desired precision for rounding vertex coordinates.
        join: {'miter', 'bevel', 'round'} Type of join used to create polygon offset
        tolerance: For miter joints, this number must be at least 2 represents the
          maximal distance in multiples of offset between new vertices and their
          original position before beveling to avoid spikes at acute joints. For
          round joints, it indicates the curvature resolution in number of
          points per full circle.
        layer: Specific layer to put polygon geometry on.
    Returns:
        Component containing a polygon(s) with the specified offset applied.
