Move "Syntax sugar", transform() methods
The "Transforming elements" section has been renamed "Size and position". The `transform()` method has been moved to the "Geometry" section. The "Syntax sugar" section has been broken up and removed: * `radius()` has been moved to "Size and position" (and has been edited for completeness and clarity) * `fill()`, `stroke()`, and `opacity()` have been moved to "Attributes and styles" * `rotate()`, `skew()`, `scale()`, and `translate()` have been grouped with `transform()` under "Geometry"

-## Transforming elements
+## Size and position
In addition to the generalized transform method, there are several specific methods for moving elements. While moving an element by directly setting its attributes will only work if the attributes are used natively by that type of element, these positioning methods are much more convenient as they work for all element types.

It is important to note, though, that these methods are only intended for use with user (unitless) coordinates. If, for example, an element has its size set via percentages or other units, the movement methods that address its native attributes will most likely still work, but the ones that address non-native attributes will give unexpected results -- as both getters and setters!
