About the algorithm

Most of the ideas are shared with the original app, described at https://github.com/fogleman/primitive/. Rasterization is done via HTML5 , which is very flexible but prohibits reasonable parallelization. Web Worker support is available but not used at all, as it does not currently bring any performance improvement. This might change in the future.
