@turf/simplify

simplify

Takes a GeoJSON object and returns a simplified version. Internally uses the 2d version of simplify-js to perform simplification using the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm.

Parameters

• geojson GeoJSON object to be simplified

• options Object Optional parameters (optional, default {})

  • options.tolerance number simplification tolerance (optional, default 1)
  • options.highQuality boolean whether or not to spend more time to create a higher-quality simplification with a different algorithm (optional, default false)
  • options.mutate boolean allows GeoJSON input to be mutated (significant performance increase if true) (optional, default false)

Examples

var geojson = turf.polygon([[
  [-70.603637, -33.399918],
  [-70.614624, -33.395332],
  [-70.639343, -33.392466],
  [-70.659942, -33.394759],

]]);
var options = {tolerance: 0.01, highQuality: false};
var simplified = turf.simplify(geojson, options);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [geojson, simplified]

Returns GeoJSON a simplified GeoJSON
