I have a shapefile representing territories, some large and some small, that I would like to reduce in size. If I simplify the shapefile a lot, the larger territories are still easily recognisable, but the small ones lose a lot of detail and become hard to recognise. Is there a simplification algorithm that will preferentially simplify the larger polygons?

I have been using https://mapshaper.org/ so far, but am open to using other tools

Thanks

  • You could look into the topojson package: https://mattijn.github.io/topojson/example/settings-tuning.html, although I'm not sure if a simplification algorithm exists that takes polygon area size into account. – NielsFlohr Oct 03 '22 at 09:27
