Manipulating the tiling should be done on the canvas using control points.
Please keep a possibility to specify precise numbers, too. Sometimes (especially with more technical drawings) I know exactly what the distances/angles/... have to be.
Here is my idea for numeric entry, which would make sense to introduce universally across all tools. The right click menu is not very useful at the moment. It should be replaced by a small pop-up toolbar (similar to OpenOffice's table toolbar) that would contain spinboxes for numeric entry, and apply / cancel buttons. Depending on the type of control point, the toolbar could contain different spinboxes, e.g. for a handle in addition to x/y coordinates it could contain the angle to its node and length. For the offset control point, it would contain the offset width. This way there would be no need for cluttered dialogs and a few things could be removed from the tool controls bar.
