Class BufferInputLineSimplifier
The most important benefit of doing this is to reduce the number of points and the complexity of shape which will be buffered. It also reduces the risk of gores created by the quantized fillet arcs (although this issue should be eliminated in any case by the offset curve generation logic).
A key aspect of the simplification is that it affects inside (concave or inward) corners only. Convex (outward) corners are preserved, since they are required to ensure that the generated buffer curve lies at the correct distance from the input geometry.
Another important heuristic used is that the end segments of the input are never simplified. This ensures that the client buffer code is able to generate end caps faithfully.
No attempt is made to avoid self-intersections in the output. This is acceptable for use for generating a buffer offset curve, since the buffer algorithm is insensitive to invalid polygonal geometry. However, this means that this algorithm cannot be used as a general-purpose polygon simplification technique.

simplify
Simplify the input coordinate list. If the distance tolerance is positive, concavities on the LEFT side of the line are simplified. If the supplied distance tolerance is negative, concavities on the RIGHT side of the line are simplified.- Parameters:
inputLine
- the coordinate list to simplifydistanceTol
- simplification distance tolerance to use- Returns:
- the simplified coordinate list
-

distanceTol
- simplification distance tolerance to use- Returns:
- the simplified coordinate list

findNextNonDeletedIndex
private int findNextNonDeletedIndex(int index) Finds the next non-deleted index, or the end of the point array if none- Parameters:
index
-- Returns:
- the next non-deleted index, if any or inputLine.length if there are no more non-deleted indices

isShallowSampled
Checks for shallowness over a sample of points in the given section. This helps prevents the simplification from incrementally "skipping" over points which are in fact non-shallow.- Parameters:
p0
- start coordinate of sectionp2
- end coordinate of sectioni0
- start index of sectioni2
- end index of sectiondistanceTol
- distance tolerance- Returns:

isShallow
