What it is?
A simplified path generator for D3, more or less a drop in replacement for d3.line with the added ability to specify a tolerance.
Usage
Install and use via npm npm install --save @tomgp/simplify-line
const { simplifiedLine } = require('simplify-line');
const simple = simplePath()
.tolerance(3)
.x(function(d){ return dateScale(d.date); })
.y(function(d){ return valueScale(d.value); })
Based on Simplify.js a tiny high-performance JavaScript polyline simplification library by Vladimir Agafonkin, extracted from Leaflet, a JS interactive maps library by the same author.
It uses a combination of Douglas-Peucker and Radial Distance algorithms.
