approx_vector.md

This layer (approx_vector) approximates vector figures: lines and polygons.

The operation decreases number of vertices with Douglas-Peucker algorithm.

Example:

{
  "action": "approx_vector",
  "src": [
    "$sample1"
  ],
  "dst": "$sample2",
  "settings": {
    "classes": [
      "my_line",
      "interesting_poly"
    ],
    "epsilon": 3
  }
}

Settings

• classes — list of classes to apply transformation. Only classes with shape "line" or "polygon" are allowed.
• epsilon — approximation accuracy (maximum distance between the original curve and its approximation).

Example
