     Type:  defect       |     Status:  new
 Priority:  major        |  Milestone:  7.0.5
Component:  Default      |    Version:  7.0.3
 Keywords:               |        CPU:  Unspecified
 Platform:  Unspecified  |
-------------------------+-------------------------
 Trying to generalize Greece shoreline + landmass, polygons fishnet'ed with
 cell size of 5000 m. Random polygons are not being generalized while they
 should be. If fishnet is made bigger (e.g 50 km cell size), then more non-
 generalized polygons are visible.

 Input is topologically error-free (no overlaps or gaps in input data).
 v.generalize output is as follows:

 v.generalize --overwrite input=c100_sea_dis_fish at Greece_UTM
 output=c100_sea_G120 method=douglas threshold=120
