Common interface to position and resize items
Submitted by Armin Burgmeier
Link to original bug (#555097)
Description
While it is easily possible to generically move around items using goo_canvas_item_translate, it is not possible to resize items. goo_canvas_item_scale scales the whole item, including borders for an rectangle or glyphs for a text.
However, it may be wished that an item itself is resized by modifying their corresponding properties, so that rectangles can be resized without scaling their borders, or text can be resized by wrapping and/or clipping it accordingly.
