Painting assistant

Krita has a framework to allow painting assistant, it is the virtual version of physical tools such as rulers, compass... It allows to restrict the drawing to follow a given shape. It differs from the line/ellipse tools in that those tools gives perfect and regular results, while the assistant allows the artist to have some control on the drawing. The following blog post contains a video that show it in work:

Deleting assistant

The tool to manipulate painting assistant is limited, it allows creation and edition. This task would allow deletion of painting assistants, by showing a delete icon on the canvas (only when the tool is active), and when the user click on it, the assistant is removed.

Finally, the tool option should countains a button to delete all assistants.
