Geometry Simplification

specdraftimplcandidate

Simplification of geometries with Douglas Peucker.

Scope

Conformance Classes

Geometry Simplification is based on the draft of OGC API Features Part 7: Geometry Simplificationopen in new window.

Query Parameters

NameResourcesDescription
zoom-level
Features, Feature
All geometries are simplified for the zoom level from the widely used tiling scheme in web mapping (WebMercatorQuad). The map scale of zoom level 0 is roughly 1:560 million. The scale doubles for every zoom level (e.g. zoom level 12 is 1:136495).
maxAllowableOffset
Features, Feature
Deprecated (replaced by zoom-level). All geometries are simplified using the Douglas Peucker algorithmopen in new window. The value defines the maximum distance between original and simplified geometry (Hausdorff distanceopen in new window). The value has to use the unit of the given coordinate reference system (CRS84 or the value of parameter crs).
