simplify.outline: Simplify an outline object by removing short edges

Description

Simplify an outline object by removing verticies bordering short edges while not encroaching on any of the outline. At present, this is done by finding concave vertices. It is safe to remove these, at the expense of increasing the area a bit.

Usage

simplify.outline(o, min.frac.length = 0.001, plot = FALSE)

Arguments

o
outline object to simplify
min.frac.length
the minumum length as a fraction of the total length of the outline.
plot
whether to display plotting or not during simplification

Value

  • Simlified outline object
