Applies a minkowski sum to selected shapes.
Mathematical Definition:
Add each element of subset A to each element of subset B to get minkowski sum.
Geometrical Definition:
Sweep element A along all boundaries of element B. Resulting space which is occupied by both elements
is minkowski sum.
Example of minkowski sum applied to cylinder and cube.
Note that the height of minkowski sum is height of cylinder plus height of cube.
