--- Comment #20 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Agree we should adjust the label.  Believe "Constrain Objects" would be
correct. As just "Constraints" would be too vague, while annotating as
"Transformations" would loose context to the underlying positioning grid. And
either would be troublesome for l10n/i18n.

The movements, reshaping and transformations of Drawing objects are all still
occurring using the adjustable Snapping Grid framework that includes 45°
diagonal movement.  

These controls enable/disable and adjust "snap" to that grid--which is the
Dialog title. 

While rotation is constrained with angular increments--freely rotated by
default, or constrained when checked.

And, kind of feel there is an implementation disconnect between mouse use and
keyboard cursor use for movements--settings here should apply to cursor
movement of objects--but that is a different issue.

Had to resort to the Drawing guide to figure out the Point Reduction. But in
the context of snap to grid, believe it controls the density of "target" points
along a polygons curve that will take a snap. I does not reshape the
curve--just the available "targets" for the snap.
