Subject: [PATCH] Add configurable X/Y offset parameters for plotter
 positioning

- Added offset-x and offset-y parameters to plotter-lod.inx (default: X=180, Y=0)
- Updated plotter-lod.py to apply offsets to all G-code coordinates
- Modified footer to use dynamic offset values
- Allows users to adjust plotter start position through GUI without code changes
