[Feature] - Add Tool Offset for aftermarket blades #285

There are some great aftermarket blades like the Roland Blade, but the knife offset is 0.25mm. The default inkscape plotter extension has the option to set an tool offset, but I could not find it in your extension. Could the logic for the tool offset be imported into your extension? There are three methods for the logic in hpgl_encoder.py (extension folder).

@TestApp90 sure, that's a great idea. Any PR introducing such a feature is welcome 👍

Note that the Graphtec cutting plotters, on which the Silhouette:s are based, handle blade offsets internally. It's just a matter of setting the correct offset for the tool. Since they use the same GPGL command language, this might work for the Silhouette:s too.
