Simple python implementation of a famous algorithm : the Visvalingam-Wyatt simplification.
Using pip :
$ pip install visvalingam
You can download the source using :
git clone https://github.com/milkbread/Visvalingam-Wyatt.git
The whole example is located in the example/
directory :
$ cd example
Dummy :
$ python simplify.py -i <inFile> -o <outFile> -t <tolerance>
Example :
python simplify.py -i in.json -o out.json -t 0.0005
Help :
python simplify.py -h
This is an exemplary workflow for tests :
- Download the repository
Simplify your data :
python simplify.py -i in.json -o out.json -t 0.0005
setup local server (necessary for D3.js) :
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888
- open in browser: http://localhost:8888/index.html
- If needed adjust the filenames within the
example/index.html
(lines 24 & 28) - evaluate the resulting data and try another threshold
