Expand description

Simplifies a polyline within a given tolerance.

Arguments

  • tolerance: A distance measurement used for both radial distance and Douglas–Peucker – the higher the tolerance, the more points will be removed from the polyline.
  • high_quality: Controls the algorithm(s) to be used in simplification
    • true: this will take the entire array of points and simplify using the Douglas–Peucker algorithm.
    • false: the list of points are first filtered using a simple radial distance algorithm, and then passed to the the Douglas-Peucker algorithm for final simplification.
