Description

Line simplification algorithms help geospatial and graphics software reduce complex paths while preserving useful shape. They are useful for maps, GPS tracks, visualization, and data-processing pipelines.

This is a geometry library, not a map editor. Simplification can remove detail, so applications should choose tolerances carefully for navigation, legal, or scientific use.
