Simplify a polygon with a self-intersecting geometry.

Image of geometry engine simplify

Use case

A user may draw a polygon which is self-intersecting or contains incorrect ring orientations. The geometry must be simplified before it can be saved to a geodatabase.

How to use the sample

Click the 'Simplify' button to simplify the geometry. Click 'Reset' to reset to the original geometry.

How it works

Check if the polygon geometry needs to be simplified using GeometryEngine.isSimple(Geometry).
Simplify the polygon's geometry using GeometryEngine.simplify(Geometry).

Relevant API

Geometry
GeometryEngine

Additional information

The concept of topological simplicity is different than geometry generalization, where points are removed from polygons or lines to create a more generalized result while preserving overall shape. See the 'Densify and Generalize' sample for comparison.
