static

Given the centers of two circles, and the offset distance we want to put the new center between them (calculated as the distance implied by the radii of the inputs and the distance between the centers) figure out where the new center point is, by getting the direction from c1 to c2 and projecting from c1 in that direction by the offset distance.
