PolylineSimplifier

An efficient .NET library for simplifying 2D polylines using the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm. It reduces the number of points in a curve while preserving its visual shape.

Usage

Installation

dotnet add package PolylineSimplifier

Example

using PolylineSimplifier;

public record Point(float X, float Y);

List<Point> points = new List<Point>
{
    new(0, 0), new(1, 0.1f), new(2, -0.1f), new(3, 5), new(4, 6),
    new(5, 7), new(6, 8.1f), new(7, 9), new(8, 9), new(9, 9)
};

List<Point> simplified = RamerDouglasPeucker2D.Simplify(
    points,
    epsilon: 1.0f,
    getX: p => p.X,
    getY: p => p.Y);

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`points`	The input polyline as a list of points
`epsilon`	Maximum perpendicular distance tolerance. Larger values = more simplification
`getX`	Function to extract the X coordinate from a point
`getY`	Function to extract the Y coordinate from a point

Benchmarks

Measured on an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Processor:

| Method | Mean | Allocated | | ------------- | -------: | --------: | | 100 Points | 1.40 μs | 2.11 KB | | 1000 Points | 22.9 μs | 15,6 KB | | 10000 Points | 757 μs | 143 KB | | 100000 Points | 17200 μs | 1440 KB | <small>Note: Epsilon = 1.0 for all benchmarks. A larger epsilon generally decreases the execution time an allocates less memory.</small>
