Generalize
The “generalize” operation allows to remotely calculate generalized versions (according to Douglas-Poiker algorithms) of geometries specified by the user.

Reference system identifier used to describe geometries. | |
maxDeviation | Specifies the maximum deviation for constructing a generalized geometry from the originals. |
