The result is a polygonal geometry formed by a subset of the input vertices.
MultiPolygons and holes are handled and produce a result with the same structure as the input.

The simplification process operates by progressively removing concave corners that contain the least amount of area, until the vertex count target is reached.
- It prevents result edges from crossing, so the result is always a valid polygonal geometry.

<para>To get better results with geometries that contain relatively long line segments, it might be necessary to "segmentize" the input, as shown below.</para>
