Mirroring
Mirroring flips a selection either vertically or horizontally. Flipping a selection while in
scale mode makes it flip within its bounding box, so that the bounding box remains fixed.
However, in rotate/shear mode mirroring happens about an (imaginary) vertical/horizontal
axis through the rotation center:
To mirror an object vertically, select Object->Flip Vertical or pressV.
To mirror an object horizontally, select Object->Flip Horizontal or press H.
There are also two buttons in the options bar that can do the same.
Scaling of Stroke Width, Rectangle Corners, and Fills

by four toggle buttons in the Tool Controls Bar.
