Bug Description

Two option selections I would like for the "Dimensions" extension:

Boundary line extent:
   - along the entire boundary box (as at present)
   - only from a little past the arrow to the first point the object touches the boundary box
   - either side of the arrow, by a little less than the specified offset

Boundary line style (any valid line style - the convention I'm familiar with uses long dashes)

A third suggestion:

Dimension side selection: any of: top, left, bottom, or right.

The user might want only the horizontal dimension marked, as with a timeline, but might want the marks either above or below the object.

It would be helpful if you could add an SVG example illustrating your requested features.
