I have a large dataset of line segments, which are both curved and straight. The problem is, some of the lines have hundreds (possibly thousands) of vertices. I would like to remove enough vertices without affecting the shape of the line. What is the best way to do this?
Solved
Remove excess vertices on line segments without changing the shape.

The Generalizer will remove colinear points from lines - you'll probably want one of the generalizing algorithms if the aim is just to reduce the density of points

Thanks, I tried this and it worked really well. The 'Thin No Point' algorithm did not change the shape of line with a low generalizing tolerance!
