<static> Simplify(polygon, [tolerance], [highestQuality])

Description:

Takes a Polygon object and simplifies the points by running them through a combination of Douglas-Peucker and Radial Distance algorithms. Simplification dramatically reduces the number of points in a polygon while retaining its shape, giving a huge performance boost when processing it and also reducing visual noise.

Parameters:

name type arguments Default description
polygon Phaser.Geom.Polygon

The polygon to be simplified. The polygon will be modified in-place and returned.

tolerance number <optional> 1

Affects the amount of simplification (in the same metric as the point coordinates).

highestQuality boolean <optional> false

Excludes distance-based preprocessing step which leads to highest quality simplification but runs ~10-20 times slower.

Returns:
Description:

The input polygon.
