+ <category>Geometry Tools</category>
+ <long_description>The purpose of the Douglas-Peucker algorithm is to find a line (or polygon) not too dissimilar but that has fewer points than the given input line (or polygon). The algorithm defines 'too dissimilar' based on the maximum distance between the original curve and the smoothed curve (tolerance). The smoothed line consists of a subset of the points that defined the original line.</long_description>
