-If *offset* is specified, sets the offset accessor to the specified function or array and returns this stack generator. If *offset* is not specified, returns the current offset acccesor, which defaults to [stackOffsetNone](#stackOffsetNone); this uses a zero baseline. See [stack offsets](#stack-offsets) for the built-in offsets.

-If *offset* is a function, it is passed the generated series array and the order index array. The offset function is then responsible for updating the lower and upper values in the series array to layout the stack. For example, the default offset is defined as:
