simplify (with strategy)

Simplify a geometry using a specified strategy.

Synopsis

template<typename Geometry, typename GeometryOut, typename Distance, typename Strategy>
void simplify(Geometry const & geometry, GeometryOut & out, Distance const & max_distance,
              Strategy const & strategy)

Parameters

Type	Concept	Name	Description
Geometry const &	Any type fulfilling a Geometry Concept	geometry	input geometry, to be simplified
GeometryOut &	The output geometry	out	output geometry, simplified version of the input geometry
Distance const &	A numerical distance measure	max_distance	distance (in units of input coordinates) of a vertex to other segments to be removed
Strategy const &	A type fulfilling a SimplifyStrategy concept	strategy	simplify strategy to be used for simplification
