Name

ST_Simplify — Returns a "simplified" geometry version of the given TopoGeometry using the Douglas-Peucker algorithm.

+geometry +ST_Simplify(+`TopoGeometry `+tg, float8 tolerance`)`;

Returns a "simplified" geometry version of the given TopoGeometry using the Douglas-Peucker algorithm on each component edge.

Note

The returned geometry may be non-simple or non-valid.

Splitting component edges may help retaining simplicity/validity.

Performed by the GEOS module.
