        /** Apply given LineDashing to given polygon

            This method is used to cut down line polygons to the needed
            pieces when a dashing needs to be applied.
            It is now capable of keeping contained bezier segments.
            It is also capable of delivering line and non-line portions
            depending on what target polygons You provide. This is useful
            e.g. for dashed lines with two colors.
            If the last and the first snippet in one of the results have
            a common start/end ppoint, they will be merged to achieve as
            view as needed result line snippets. This is also relevant for
            further processing the results.

            @param rCandidate
            The polygon based on which the snippets will be created.

            @param rDotDashArray
            The line pattern given as array of length values

            @param pLineTarget
            The target for line snippets, e.g. the first entry will be
            a line segment with length rDotDashArray[0]. The given
            polygon will be emptied as preparation.

            @param pGapTarget
            The target for gap snippets, e.g. the first entry will be
            a line segment with length rDotDashArray[1]. The given
            polygon will be emptied as preparation.

            @param fFullDashDotLen
            The summed-up length of the rDotDashArray. If zero, it will
            be calculated internally.

            There is now a 2nd version that allows to provide callback
            functions that get called when a snippet of a line/gap is
            produced and needs to be added. This allows to use it like
            a 'pipeline'. When using this (e.g. the 1st version uses
            this internally to guarantee the same algorithm is used)
            it is not needed to accumulate a potentially huge number
            of polygons in the result-polyPolygons, but e.g. consume
            them directly in the caller. Example is rendering a
            dashed line but without creating the potentially huge amount
            of polygons.
            The 2nd version will also merge first/last line/gap snippets
            if the input polygon is closed and the start/end-points match
            accordingly - at the cost that this will be delivered last.
