Path transformations

[Ottia Tuota]

I updated the plugin file to version 0.18. There are now two versions of the new plugin: "easy" and "advanced". Ideally there should be only one and the latter would be hidden behind a button "Advanced options". But I don't know how to do it.

I am still working on the advanced one and there will be changes, so please don't pay any attention to it for now. But I decided to publish the easy version already since it solves the difficulty I noticed in the post by Rich (see posts #15, #17). Thanks Rich! Now horizontals can be kept horizontal, despite of the Shaper.

The easy version got two changes:

• I dropped the option to take the reference box from a path. That is now only in the advanced version.
  
• The plugin can (and as the default does), after transforming the path, rotate it to keep horizontals horizontal.
  

To be more precise, what is turned to horizontal, is the part in the transformed path corresponding to the bottom edge of the reference box. This makes sense now that the reference box always has originally the bottom edge horizontal (since I dropped the path option), so it is natural to maintain horizontality of the bottom edge.

To demonstrate, here is a picture:

   

Other settings were the defaults.

The new version 0.18 is found in the same place, see post #1. Please tell me if there are any problems. Or if the plugin could be made to work more reasonably...
