It is sort of what Optimize Contours does, but that is very strict.

Maybe we can add another option, to Simplify Contours, next to the Optimize Contours button. Or maybe just replace it?

I almost never use the current "Optimize Contours" manually (I don't see how it helps me design contours really)
I don't know if other people may disagree with me, maybe some are using "Optimize Contours".
so its up to you if you want to replace it or add it as a different function,
either way it would be good it have it.

Is it simple to develop?

It is changing one digit, so yes pretty easy to accomplish ;-)

Code: Select all

    procedure OptimizeContour(aTolerance: Double = 1);

-->

    procedure OptimizeContour(aTolerance: Double = 5);
