[Drawkit] Changing margins does not shift drawing objects

[Graham Cox]

Hi Dick,

Layers can't be included in groups, as they are not subclasses of  
DKDrawableObject. In hindsight that might have been a good way to do  
things but it would be a big change to make now.

Your method outline could still work within each layer though, but the  
transform approach is probably cleaner. As I mentioned, it might be  
best to provide a method to do the work but leave the usage up to the  
app.

cheers, Graham
