[Qgis-developer] On the fly simplication of point layers

[A Huarte]

This patch hides the simplification rendering tab for point layers, now it is not supported (internally I am not trying to simplify point layers). Thanks Tim!

About if there is a use case for point simplification, I know one, (gvSIG  + dielmo open lidar) use it for load extreme big point layers as LiDAR LAS files are.

It know the code in java and I think easy migrate to QGIS. Basically, It ignore points by distance in a similar style as the current simplifier classes.

If you think good for QGIS I think but I can imlement it.

>Ok I guess you can see where I am going to go with this email :-) Is there any point to allowing users to simplify point layers? Alvaro, can your remove the point rendering tab in layer properties (and I guess check internally that you are not trying to simplify point layers)? Or is there a use case for point simplification that I am not getting?
