Description gerald_huber 2004-09-22 14:16:17 UTC 
Currently cutting a closed curve with an open one already produces "something",
but nothing which I'd consider especially useful.

This would be a nifty feature which could easily be implemented, by interpreting
an open curved as two closed ones.
Then intersect each of this two temporary closed curves with the given closed
curve, keep this two intersections and throw away all the original curves.
Presto you are done - with nearly no additional code.

Here is how you get the temporary closed curves:
- Think of the maximum drawing area as a rectangle (dotted blue line)
- the startpoint and endpoint of the (black) open curve define a straight line
- from two segments of this line (green), the original open curve and the
maximum drawing area, you get two complementary shapes (one shown in light blue)

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
