Hi everybody,

Recently for GSoC I have been looking into resolving
"Use floating point for glyph positioning in VCL" 
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103322>

This involves changing the types of variables from tools::Point to 
basegfx::B2DPoint.
tools::Point <https://docs.libreoffice.org/tools/html/classPoint.html> has a 
method called AdjustX(long nHorzMove), which adds nHorzMove to X:

basegfx::B2DPoint 
<https://docs.libreoffice.org/basegfx/html/classbasegfx_1_1B2DPoint.html> does 
not have such a method. So calls to AdjustX(nHorzMove) are
being replaced by something like setX(getX() + nHorzMove).

It works fine of course but I think AdjustX looks cleaner and it feels like a 
step
backwards when moving from tools::Point to basegfx::B2DPoint.

An OpenGrok search 
<https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/search?project=core&refs=AdjustX> for AdjustX 
reveals it is used frequently in the code-base,
which suggests it is a method which developers have found useful in the past.

If it is agreed that we should add such a method I would be happy to implement 
it.
Also for consistency we might want to add a similar method to other classes in
basegfx such as B2IPoint.

With many thanks,
