turf-simplify

simplify

Takes a LineString or Polygon and returns a simplified version. Internally uses simplify-js to perform simplification.

Parameters

• feature (Feature<(LineString | Polygon | MultiLineString | MultiPolygon)> | FeatureCollection | GeometryCollection) feature to be simplified
• tolerance number simplification tolerance
• highQuality boolean whether or not to spend more time to create a higher-quality simplification with a different algorithm

Examples

var feature = {
  "type": "Feature",
  "properties": {},
  "geometry": {
    "type": "Polygon",
    "coordinates": [[
      [-70.603637, -33.399918],
      [-70.614624, -33.395332],
      [-70.639343, -33.392466],
      [-70.659942, -33.394759],
      [-70.683975, -33.404504],
      [-70.697021, -33.419406],

  }
};
 
var tolerance = 0.01;
 
var simplified = turf.simplify(
 feature, tolerance, false);
 
//=feature
 
//=simplified

Returns (Feature<(LineString | Polygon | MultiLineString | MultiPolygon)> | FeatureCollection | GeometryCollection) a simplified feature
