<a name="details" id="details"></a><h2 class="groupheader">Detailed Description</h2>
<div class="textblock"><p>A curve fitter implementing Douglas and Peucker algorithm. </p>
<p>The purpose of the Douglas and Peucker algorithm is that given a 'curve' composed of line segments to find a curve not too dissimilar but that has fewer points. The algorithm defines 'too dissimilar' based on the maximum distance (tolerance) between the original curve and the smoothed curve.</p>
<p>The runtime of the algorithm increases non linear ( worst case O( n*n ) ) and might be very slow for huge polygons. To avoid performance issues it might be useful to split the polygon ( <a class="el" href="class_qwt_weeding_curve_fitter.html#a9f17a819447cba0e733bd71d90ee2766">setChunkSize()</a> ) and to run the algorithm for these smaller parts. The disadvantage of having no interpolation at the borders is for most use cases irrelevant.</p>
<p>The smoothed curve consists of a subset of the points that defined the original curve.</p>
<p>In opposite to <a class="el" href="class_qwt_spline_curve_fitter.html" title="A curve fitter using cubic splines.">QwtSplineCurveFitter</a> the Douglas and Peucker algorithm reduces the number of points. By adjusting the tolerance parameter according to the axis scales <a class="el" href="class_qwt_spline_curve_fitter.html" title="A curve fitter using cubic splines.">QwtSplineCurveFitter</a> can be used to implement different level of details to speed up painting of curves of many points. </p>
