simplify {aRT} | R Documentation |
Simplifies a set of polygons or lines. The objects may lose some of their geometric relations with other objects, such as touches, although the algorithm is deterministic. See D. Douglas and T. K. Peucker. Algorithms for the reduction of the number of points required to represent a line or its caricature. The Canadian Cartographer. v. 10, n. 2, pp. 112-122, 1973.
