This page removes low-impact vertices which connect pairs of straight lines (C,S,Q,T,A curves are ignored). It can work on both paths and loops. All relative coordinates are converted to absolute. See the W3 PathData definition for more information.
Both maximum angle (0 for only dropping straight lines, 180 for no limit) and maximum area (of cut triangles; unit is coordinates; leave blank to disable) thresholds are used.
The nature of this technique has some consequences:
