[heading Behavior]
|
|
Simplification is done using [@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramer%E2%80%93Douglas%E2%80%93Peucker_algorithm Douglas-Peucker] (if the default strategy is used).
|
|
[note Geometries might become invalid by using simplify. The simplification
|
|
process might create self-intersections.
