<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>can someone tell me how to maximize the decimation
available to vtkDecimate and vtkDecimatePro, while still preserving topology? I
want to reduce the number of triangles to something like .01% to .1%, but even
setting the target reduction to 1.0 doesn't come close to that. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please advise, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
