Simplifies polygons by replacing nearly straight chains of short edges with a single long edge on Earth.

Syntax

geo_simplify_polygons_array(polygons, tolerance)

Learn more about syntax conventions.

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
polygon dynamic ✔️ Polygon or multipolygon in the GeoJSON format.
tolerance int, long, or real Defines minimum distance in meters between any two vertices. Supported values are in the range [0, ~7,800,000 meters]. If unspecified, the default value 10 is used.

Returns

Simplified polygon or a multipolygon in the GeoJSON format and of a dynamic data type, with no two vertices with distance less than tolerance. If either the polygon or tolerance is invalid, the query will produce a null result.

Note

  • If input is a single polygon, please see geo_polygon_simplify().
  • The geospatial coordinates are interpreted as represented by the WGS-84 coordinate reference system.
  • The geodetic datum used for measurements on Earth is a sphere. Polygon edges are geodesics on the sphere.
  • If input polygon edges are straight cartesian lines, consider using geo_polygon_densify() to convert planar edges to geodesics.
  • If input is a multipolygon and contains more than one polygon, the result will be the area of polygons union.
  • High tolerance may cause small polygon to disappear.

Polygon definition and constraints

dynamic({"type": "Polygon","coordinates": [ LinearRingShell, LinearRingHole_1, ..., LinearRingHole_N ]})

dynamic({"type": "MultiPolygon","coordinates": [[ LinearRingShell, LinearRingHole_1, ..., LinearRingHole_N ], ..., [LinearRingShell, LinearRingHole_1, ..., LinearRingHole_M]]})

  • LinearRingShell is required and defined as a counterclockwise ordered array of coordinates [[lng_1,lat_1],...,[lng_i,lat_i],...,[lng_j,lat_j],...,[lng_1,lat_1]]. There can be only one shell.
  • LinearRingHole is optional and defined as a clockwise ordered array of coordinates [[lng_1,lat_1],...,[lng_i,lat_i],...,[lng_j,lat_j],...,[lng_1,lat_1]]. There can be any number of interior rings and holes.
  • LinearRing vertices must be distinct with at least three coordinates. The first coordinate must be equal to the last. At least four entries are required.
  • Coordinates [longitude, latitude] must be valid. Longitude must be a real number in the range [-180, +180] and latitude must be a real number in the range [-90, +90].
  • LinearRingShell encloses at most half of the sphere. LinearRing divides the sphere into two regions. The smaller of the two regions will be chosen.
  • LinearRing edge length must be less than 180 degrees. The shortest edge between the two vertices will be chosen.
  • LinearRings must not cross and must not share edges. LinearRings may share vertices.

Examples

The following example simplifies polygons with mutual borders (USA states), by removing vertices that are within a 100-meter distance from each other.

US_States
| project polygon = features.geometry
| summarize lst = make_list(polygon)
| project polygons = geo_simplify_polygons_array(lst, 100)

Output

polygons
{ "type": "MultiPolygon", "coordinates": [ ... ]]}

The following example returns True because one of the polygons is invalid.

datatable(polygons:dynamic)
[
    dynamic({"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[-73.9495,40.7969],[-73.95807,40.80068],[-73.98201,40.76825],[-73.97317,40.76455],[-73.9495,40.7969]]]}),
    dynamic({"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[-73.94622,40.79249]]]}),
    dynamic({"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[-73.97335,40.77274],[-73.9936,40.76630],[-73.97171,40.75655],[-73.97335,40.77274]]]})
]
| summarize arr = make_list(polygons)
| project is_invalid_polygon = isnull(geo_simplify_polygons_array(arr))

Output

is_invalid_polygon
1

The following example returns True because of the invalid tolerance.

datatable(polygons:dynamic)
[
    dynamic({"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[-73.9495,40.7969],[-73.95807,40.80068],[-73.98201,40.76825],[-73.97317,40.76455],[-73.9495,40.7969]]]}),
    dynamic({"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[-73.94622,40.79249],[-73.96888,40.79282],[-73.9577,40.7789],[-73.94622,40.79249]]]}),
    dynamic({"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[-73.97335,40.77274],[-73.9936,40.76630],[-73.97171,40.75655],[-73.97335,40.77274]]]})
]
| summarize arr = make_list(polygons)
| project is_null = isnull(geo_simplify_polygons_array(arr, -1))

Output

is_null
1

The following example returns True because high tolerance causes polygon to disappear.

datatable(polygons:dynamic)
[
    dynamic({"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[-73.9495,40.7969],[-73.95807,40.80068],[-73.98201,40.76825],[-73.97317,40.76455],[-73.9495,40.7969]]]}),
    dynamic({"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[-73.94622,40.79249],[-73.96888,40.79282],[-73.9577,40.7789],[-73.94622,40.79249]]]}),
    dynamic({"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[-73.97335,40.77274],[-73.9936,40.76630],[-73.97171,40.75655],[-73.97335,40.77274]]]})
]
| summarize arr = make_list(polygons)
| project is_null = isnull(geo_simplify_polygons_array(arr, 10000))
