Method Generalize
Generalize(Geometry, Double, Boolean)
Generalizes the given geometry by removing vertices based on the Douglas-Poiker algorithm.
Declaration
public static Geometry Generalize(Geometry geometry, double maxDeviation, bool removeDegenerateParts)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Geometry | geometry | The geometry to be generalized. |
| Double | maxDeviation | The maximum distance that the generalized geometry can deviate from the original, in the same units as the geometry's spatial reference system. |
| Boolean | removeDegenerateParts | When |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Geometry | A Geometry that represents the generalization of the input geometry. |
Remarks
Geometry is generalized by removing vertices based on the Douglas-Poiker algorithm. MapPoint and Multipoint geometries are left unchanged. Envelope is converted to a Polygon and then generalized. Supports true curves as input, producing a densified curve as output where applicable.

Densify and generalize: A multipart geometry can be densified by adding interpolated points at regular intervals. Generalizing multipart geometry simplifies it while preserving its general shape. Densifying a multipart geometry adds more vertices at regular intervals.
