Simplify geometry using the Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm.
If you need to simplify geometries, for instance reducing the number of points in a polygon, this will help you. You could use this in Leaflet.
var simplify = require('simplify-geometry');
var linestring = [[0,0], [2.5,3], [5,0]];
console.log(simplify(linestring, 2.9));
console.log(simplify(linestring, 3));Output:
[ [ 0, 0 ], [ 2.5, 3 ], [ 5, 0 ] ]
[ [ 0, 0 ], [ 5, 0 ] ]Browser builds are built with Browserify, and tested in various browsers with Testling:
