[Qgis-developer] Offset curve tool

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi all

There is a new editing tool in the master branch.
The offset curve tool creates parallel shifts of linestrings and polygon 
rings ( single sided buffers with the geos function 
GEOSSingleSidedBuffer ). The tool can be applied to the edited layer 
(the geometries are modified) or also to background layers (creates 
copies of the lines / rings and adds it to the the edited layer). It is 
thus ideally suited for the creation of distance line layers.

Let me know about issues, suggestions, comments.

The work was kindly funded by the city of Uster (Switzerland).

Regards,
Marco
