Krita - Smarter boolean operations on vector shapes

In Krita, performing boolean operations on vector shapes leads to a large number of unnecessary nodes. This happens because Qt lacks a proper algorithm to find the intersection point of two Bezier curves. I plan on implementing a numerically stable as well as efficient algorithm to find the intersections of two Bezier curves.

Goals

• Create a new algorithm to compute intersections of Bezier curves using implicitization
  • done!
• Manage the dependencies and implement parts of Qt private modules in Krita codebase
  • done!
• Integrate the algorithm with current intersection finding routine
  • pending
• Implement the new routine for boolean operations
  • pending
• Write proper documentation and unit tests for all the above goals while doing them
  • ongoing

Progress until now

Hey!
