Each layer can now be aware of it own resolution.
This fix the problem where we can't fix file resolution from layers when using compression codec other than png.
In original format both name and description could be an empty string
with length -1.
Bounding rectangle should be an index of first/last white pixels.
Anet N4 is LCD printer similar to Anycubic Photon (same display parameters).
The printer uses modified B9Creator job file (.b9j) with added preview image
and print parameters.
However, most of options are use integers, so it is impossible to set fractions
of second for exposure.
Format does not support anti-aliasing and curing/light offset delay.

- **Suggestions:**
- (Add) Transition layers: If you are printing flat on the build plate your model will print better when using a smooth transition exposure time instead of a harsh variation, resulting in reduced layer line effect and avoid possible problems due the large exposure difference.
This is not so important when your model print raised under a raft/supports unaffected by the bottom exposure, in that case, it's fine to ignore this.
- (Add) Model position: Printing on a corner will reduce the FEP stretch forces when detaching from the model during a lift sequence, benefits are: Reduced lift height and faster printing, less stretch, less FEP marks, better FEP lifespan, easier to peel, less prone to failure and use the screen pixels more evenly.
If the model is too large to fit within the margin(s) on the screen, it will attempt to center it on that same axis to avoid touching on screen edge(s) and to give a sane margin from it.
