[QGIS-Developer] Geodesic Line Simplification

[Áron Gergely]

Hi Calvin and list,

Have you looked at the GRASS GIS v.generalize tool? 
https://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/v.generalize.html

The Douglas-Peucker algorithm is implemented there and I have used that 
with (topologic)success recently on many touching polygons. Should work 
for polylines too!

Best regards,
Aron
