Description

At the moment tiles are anchored to the lower left.
It should be possible to configure the anchoring per tilelayer to be anchored at lower, mid or upper side as well as left mid and right side.

(Moving issue from the old bugtracker https://sourceforge.net/apps/mantisbt/tiled/view.php?id=57)

The anchoring helps at creating different 3D projections with oversized tiles.
(Issue #147 relates to drawing order of tiles, which also helps for different projections.)

Research direction

The issue does not identify files, tests, or an entry point; begin by locating the tile-layer rendering and anchoring code in the Tiled editor. Determine how tile positions are currently anchored and how the requested horizontal and vertical anchor choices should interact with oversized tiles and 3D projections. Done means the behavior is configurable per tile layer and covered by appropriate validation or rendering tests.
