[postgis-users] Simplify a perfect (hierarchical) partition of polygons (ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology and friends)

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Martin,

The reference to "follow the yellow brick roads" is indeed a reference 
to the Wizard of OZ and could be interpreted as to set out on a journey 
full of perils and unknowns. :)

That said, there have been a lot of posts on the list about using 
topology. The idea would be to load your polygons into a topology then 
simplify the edges, and extract you polygons again.

Will get you most of the links you need to get started.
