Project: QGIS

Version: 2.8.0

Feature: Improved simplify tool

The simplify tool has been overhauled, adding:

  • OTF reprojection support
  • user can specify exact tolerance (not just non-sense relative value)
  • tolerance can be specified either in map units or layer units or pixels
  • tolerance settings are stored in settings
  • simplify multiple features at once (drag a rectangle instead of just clicking)
  • support for multi-part features
  • statistics about reduction of the number of vertices
