turf simplify module
npm install @spatial/simplifyTakes a [GeoJSON][1] object and returns a simplified version. Internally uses
[simplify-js][2] to perform simplification using the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm.
- geojson [GeoJSON][3] object to be simplified
- options [Object][4] Optional parameters (optional, default {})
- options.tolerance [number][5] simplification tolerance (optional, default 1)
- options.highQuality [boolean][6] whether or not to spend more time to create a higher-quality simplification with a different algorithm (optional, default false)
- options.mutate [boolean][6] allows GeoJSON input to be mutated (significant performance increase if true) (optional, default false)
