public class LineSmoother
extends AbstractSmoother

Line smoothing by interpolation with cubic Bazier curves. This code adapts an algorithm which was devised by Maxim Shemanarev for polygons and described by him at: http://www.antigrain.com/research/bezier_interpolation/index.html.

To use the same algorithm for LineStrings we add a dummy vertex to either end, calculate control points for just the real vertices.

Default constructor.

LineSmoother

public LineSmoother(org.locationtech.jts.geom.GeometryFactory geomFactory)

Constructor.

Parameters:

geomFactory - an instance of GeometryFactory to use when creating smoothed Geometry objects

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if geomFactory is null

Method Detail

smooth

public org.locationtech.jts.geom.LineString smooth(org.locationtech.jts.geom.LineString ls,
                                                   double alpha)

Creates a new LineString which is a smoothed version of the input LineString.

Parameters:

ls - the input LineString

alpha - a value between 0 and 1 (inclusive) specifying the tightness of fit of the smoothed boundary (0 is loose)

Returns:

the smoothed LineString
