Method Detail

setApproximation

public void setApproximation(boolean a)

setMaxDistance

public DouglasPeucker setMaxDistance(double dist)

maximum distance of discrepancy (from the normal way) in meter

simplify

public int simplify(PointList points)

Simplifies the points, from index 0 to size-1.

It is a wrapper method for simplify(PointList, int, int).

Returns:

The number removed points

simplify

public int simplify(PointList points,
                    int fromIndex,
                    int lastIndex)

Simplifies a part of the points. The fromIndex and lastIndex are guaranteed to be kept.

Parameters:

points - The PointList to simplify

fromIndex - Start index to simplify, should be >= lastIndex

lastIndex - Simplify up to this index

Returns:

The number of removed points
