* Update changelog
* Add an option to limit geometry vertex count
* Update docs and changelog
* Track desired feature count and geometry size in strategies
* Remove dead code for a long-forgotten inaccessible option
* Fix the option name in changelog
* Refine coalesce-smallest to only coalesce onto other small features
* Clean polygons before coalescing-as-needed
* Don't accumulate tiny polygon holes as negative dust
* Add the option not to limit the feature count at maxzoom
* Add options to limit feature count more abruptly in each tile
* Revert "Add the option not to limit the feature count at maxzoom"
This reverts commit ace173ab7a.
* Revert "Fix the option name in changelog"
This reverts commit 38dbce8405.
* Revert "Add an option to limit geometry vertex count"
This reverts commit d379fdf06b.
* Remove test for reverted option
* Remove more leftovers from geometry size limiting
* Update changelog
* Add an option to drop the densest features by rate, not a fraction
* Restrict dot dropping just to dots, as it should be
* 50% mix of sparse and uniform point preservation
* Update version, changelog, test, and documentation
* 60% sparse, 40% dense
* Didn't update the test after the last change
* Make the drop-denser rate configurable without recompiling
* Add an option to generate label points in place of polygons
* Change all these places where I said "extent" but really meant "area"
* Revert "Change all these places where I said "extent" but really meant "area""
This reverts commit 403828d2f7.
* Add --order-smallest-first and --order-largest-first options
* Use Turf's center-of-mass algorithm for polygon label points
* If the label point isn't within the polygon, find one that is
* Don't choose a label point that is too close to a border
* Try a little harder to find an optimal label point
* Checkerboard which tiles labels are generated in, to reduce adjacency
* Use a label point for the general representative point for polygons
(Skipping the iteration to find one that is as far as possible from
the borders)
This makes the labels look better in many cases (like France at z1)
but unfortunately ripples into changing the sequence of polygons in
many tests, so the diff is big.
* Revert "Use a label point for the general representative point for polygons"
This reverts commit 2261adf05e.
* Checkpoint work on spiral labels
* Clip label spirals to the feature bounds
* Fix label test
* Be careful not to place spiral labels too close to borders either
* For spiral anchors, only check tile scale, not feature size
* Update test
* Only try to find a central label point for the largest ring
* In tiny polygon dust, keep the attributes of the largest feature
* First attempt at porting Paul Mach's Visvalingam implementation
* Make indent
* Mostly working
* Approximate equivalence from Douglas-Peucker to Visvalingam levels
* Don't simplify away tile boundary crossing points
* Add a command-line option and test for Visvalingam simplification
* Update changelog
* Cleanup in response to review feedback
* Include <stdio.h> to fix compiler warnings
* Stop adding features to a tile if it can't possibly work
* Add --integer and --fraction options to tippecanoe-decode
* Carry the strategies field from tileset metadata through tile-join
* Update changelog
* Assign different codes to different kinds of error exits
* Reduce maxzooms being guessed a little:
* Use 1.5 standard deviations, not 2, as the minimum distinguishable
* Give overlapping polygons and linestrings more distinct indices
* Add another drop rate guessing options, from the same metrics -zg uses
* Guard against using -rp without -zg
* Add an option to retain extra coordinate precision at maxzoom
* Make sure not to shift away the extra detail from coordinates
* Add an option to convert double-precision attributes to single
* Sort attribute values in tiles to make them compress a little better
* Slightly improve polygon simplification
By choosing a point that would be retained after simplification
to be the start/end point that always gets retained
* I regret making all of these tests involve polygons
* Add an option to specify the size of tiny polygons
* Fix accidental requiring of argument for --single-precision
* Guard against duplicate points when generating "sizes" for them
* Restore the intended behavior that tiny polygons don't get simplified
* Make the extra detail settable rather than always maximizing it
* Revert "Improve maxzoom guessing for tightly-clustered point data sources (#4)"
This reverts commit fec5e8354c.
* Add an option to prevent choosing a base zoom higher than the maxzoom
* Keep the drop rate high enough when the basezoom gets constrained
* Revert "Revert "Improve maxzoom guessing for tightly-clustered point data sources (#4)""
This reverts commit db6bc27d9e.
* Add --order-by and --order-descending options
* Accept multiple --order-by and --order-descending-by sort keys
* Add --maximum-zoom-at-least to specify a minimum maxzoom to guess
* Check whether the specified minimum maxzoom is out of range
* Rename the option to --smallest-maximum-zoom-guess
* Update tests, changelog, and version
* Handle points too when dropping or coalescing the "smallest" features.
* Add statistics of tile size reduction strategies to tileset metadata
* Update changelog and version
* Update documentation
Most software in the ecosystem is unable to write arbitrary data to the tippecanoe object, so it might be helpful to show how users can make these GeoJSON extensions work. #685
