Hi Bernhard,

Excellent timing, I was thinking about creating a new functionality that 
I need for a parcel digitization project.
One tool I have in mind is parallel moving of a side of a polygon in 
order to achieve a specific area for the polygon (and at the same time 
maintain topological integrity with near polygons.

Cheers,
Angelos
