Hi :) I thought shear was a better description of what the thing does. It's probably the word i would use when doing a search through the document to try to find how to make the object slanted. Hmm, now i look at the online dictionaries i see that shear is only used that way in physics (and possibly engineering) and most of the time it's used to mean "cut off", which i would say is "shearing off" or a "catastrophic shear". I might of thought of "italicising" the shape or "tipping" it but "slant" wouldn't have occured to me. Regards from Tom :)
