Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 109620
Point reduction
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:42:44 UTC
Point elimination tool does not eliminate points without interaction. Consider a situation when a complex shape is imported into a drawing. Shape contains some thousand points. There is no tool for the point reduction automatically. Such tool must have its own dialogue. The user must be able to chose the line/polygon generalization method (angle, distance or both) and threshold values. These values must be independent from angle value for the point elimination tool. An example will be added as an ODG file.
Created attachment 68033 [details] Point reduction using the distance threshold.
Reassigned.
The example file was created with a help of a small perl script. The script reads/write only MapInfo Interchange format files. Afterwards MIF files were converted to DXF. The last one was imported into the drawing. It's not very helpful for OOo users. If somebody points me to useful resources "how to create macro for OOo.Draw (and OOo.Impress) using python", I'll be grateful.
