[Qgis-developer] Edit tools: planned "rotate feature" and "draw rectangle" ?

[Agustin Lobo]

For planing low height aerial campaigns with small format cameras. It's 
useful having a rectangle of the size
of the planned footprint (of a single image or of the length of a flight 
line and the width of an image) and moving it and orienting it to 
accommodate the features that you want to cover.
Also, defining a rectangle to clip an image (which I use to simulate the 
result that we are supposed
to get if appropriate imagery is available, i.e. a previous
regular aerial photography)

In general, this would be useful for designing field sampling schemes by 
locating rectangular plots of a pre-defined size.
