Shear[ <Object>, <Line l>, <Ratio r> ]
Shears the object so that points on line l stay fixed and points at distance d from the line are shifted by d\cdot r in direction of the line (direction of the shift is different for halfplanes with respect to l). A sheared plane figure maintains its original area.
