simplify

Description

Simplifies the geometries in a GeoJSON object. Uses the 2d version of simplify-js.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
geojson	GeoJSON	GeoJSON object to be simplified
options?	Object	Optional parameters (default {})
options.tolerance?	number	Simplification tolerance (default 1)
options.highQuality?	boolean	Produce a higher-quality simplification using a slower algorithm (default false)
options.mutate?	boolean	Allow GeoJSON input to be mutated (significant performance improvement if true) (default false)

Returns

GeoJSON Simplified GeoJSON
