Detailed Description

Simplifies a geometry, ensuring that the result is a valid geometry having the same dimension and number of components as the input.

The simplification uses a maximum distance difference algorithm similar to the one used in the Douglas-Peucker algorithm.

In particular, if the input is an areal geometry ( Polygon or MultiPolygon )

• The result has the same number of shells and holes (rings) as the input, in the same order
• The result rings touch at no more than the number of touching point in the input (although they may touch at fewer points)

Member Function Documentation

void geos::simplify::TopologyPreservingSimplifier::setDistanceTolerance (  double  tolerance  )

Sets the distance tolerance for the simplification. All vertices in the simplified geometry will be within this distance of the original geometry. The tolerance value must be non-negative. A tolerance value of zero is effectively a no-op. Parameters: distanceTolerance  the approximation tolerance to use
