Detailed Description

Computes a Topology-Preserving Visvalingam-Whyatt simplification of a set of input lines. The simplified lines will contain no more intersections than are present in the original input. Line and ring endpoints are preserved, except for rings which are flagged as "free".

The amount of simplification is determined by a tolerance value, which is a non-zero quantity. It is the square root of the area tolerance used in the Visvalingam-Whyatt algorithm. This equates roughly to the maximum distance by which a simplified line can change from the original.

Member Function Documentation

simplify() [1/2]

static std::unique_ptr< MultiLineString > geos::coverage::TPVWSimplifier::simplify ( const MultiLineString *  lines, double  distanceTolerance  )

static

Simplifies a set of lines, preserving the topology of the lines.

Parameters

lines	the lines to simplify
distanceTolerance	the simplification tolerance

Returns

the simplified lines

simplify() [2/2]

static std::unique_ptr< MultiLineString > geos::coverage::TPVWSimplifier::simplify ( const MultiLineString *  lines, std::vector< bool > &  freeRings, const MultiLineString *  constraintLines, double  distanceTolerance  )

static

Simplifies a set of lines, preserving the topology of the lines between themselves and a set of linear constraints. The endpoints of lines are preserved. The endpoint of rings are preserved as well, unless the ring is indicated as "free" via a bit flag with the same index.

Parameters

lines	the lines to simplify
freeRings	flags indicating which ring edges do not have node endpoints
constraintLines	the linear constraints
distanceTolerance	the simplification tolerance

Returns

the simplified lines
