I have added engine support for "shear/skew".

Need to add GUI support now.

Feel we should add this one before the next release.

I'm thinking about choosing an origin, and a y-axis direction relative to the origin, followed by a sheared y-axis.

A rectangle and it's sheared parallelogram will be shown, together with selected entities.

Any suggestion?

Not sure about whether we should support multiple copies, like "Copy/Move".

I was thinking about how we use a 3D vector,
and what it could be useful for.
And then I remembered adobe Illustrator has a shear tool.

Is it true that creating this tool would require a 3D vector?
Would this be a useful feature?
