How to break a line system into small parts?

Asked by Poly

I have many lines intersect each other. Imagin a grid.
And i want to slit them into smaller parts.
To break apart any line in all intersection points with other lines.

How to make so in most quick way?

Good question. No obvious answer. What are you trying to accomplish overall with the smaller line segments? Maybe there's a different way to get to the final goal.

Yes, i already made it.

My goal was to paint big area with a lots of lines in such way where any part of this image has different color.

I just dray curves, and then use shift + f7 tool to fill diferent parts. But it was not good solution, because some little parts of image in the corners of picture stay non colored.

I think its good idea for programmers to make some functionality to work on curves.

-----------------

And second. I notice bug when i draw whole picture!
There was more then 20 sircles next was around previous. Like sircles on water. And all of sircles has some color.
And computer freez. I need to wait near 2 minutes to draw any item on image. This sircles all drawed realy more then 1 minutes!
And i was foresed not to use this cool program, because it was unreal to draw =(.

Sometimes you can compensate for the incomplete paint bucket fill by a) zooming in as much as possible before you use the paint bucket tool and b) scaling up the size of the paint object by 1-2% after it's created. (b) works especially well if the lines around the object are not thin.

The bug though, that you should add to the bug list in this forum.
