Detailed Description

reduce the number of lines in a polyline

vtkDecimatePolylineFilter is a filter to reduce the number of lines in a polyline. The algorithm functions by evaluating an error metric for each vertex (i.e., the distance of the vertex to a line defined from the two vertices on either side of the vertex). Then, these vertices are placed into a priority queue, and those with larger errors are deleted first. The decimation continues until the target reduction is reached.

Warning:: This algorithm is a very simple implementation that overlooks some potential complexities. First, if a vertex is multiply connected, meaning that it is used by multiple polylines, then the extra topological constraints are ignored. Second, the error is not updated as vertices are deleted (similar to iteratively computing a quadric error metric). Thus, once calculated, the error is used to determine which vertices are removed. This can produce less than optimal results.
