[postgis-users] Noob request - using ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology() on Tiger Data

[Greg Williamson]

I saw a thread recently on the the Open Source Mapping / US mail list ... see for instance:

 <http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-us/2011-June/006256.html>

There is a reference in there to running a "simplify" from the JOSM code base -- that is almost certainly open source, and may help.

I hope ...

Does it mean the source code is publically accessible ?

Yes via a SWF Decompiler. But Flash is only rendering shapes and passing them onto backend scripts, thanks to vanrijkom's shape reader for actionscript. As far as I know, Flash does not do any of the actual shapefile simplification

Do you have a link to source code of the backend too ?

Nope
