Description
There is no way to trigger the Path Simplification code externally. Setting the path.simplify RC parameter does not actually do anything.
The function definition and docstring for path.iter_segments looks like (I edited out irrelevant portions):
def iter_segments(self, transform=None, remove_nans=True, clip=None,
snap=False, stroke_width=1.0, simplify=None,
curves=True, sketch=None):
"""
Iterates over all of the curve segments in the path. Each
iteration returns a 2-tuple (*vertices*, *code*), where
*vertices* is a sequence of 1 - 3 coordinate pairs, and *code* is
one of the :class:`Path` codes.
Additionally, this method can provide a number of standard
cleanups and conversions to the path.
Parameters
----------
<<<removed>>>
simplify : None or bool, optional
If True, perform simplification, to remove
vertices that do not affect the appearance of the path. If
False, perform no simplification. If None, use the
should_simplify member variable.
<<<removed>>>
"""
if not len(self):
return
cleaned = self.cleaned(transform=transform,
remove_nans=remove_nans, clip=clip,
snap=snap, stroke_width=stroke_width,
simplify=simplify, curves=curves,
sketch=sketch)However, looking at the code for path.cleaned reveals that the None parameters are never overwritten as is claimed by the docstring for iter_segments.
def cleaned(self, transform=None, remove_nans=False, clip=None,
quantize=False, simplify=False, curves=False,
stroke_width=1.0, snap=False, sketch=None):
"""
Cleans up the path according to the parameters returning a new
Path instance.
.. seealso::
See :meth:`iter_segments` for details of the keyword arguments.
Returns
-------
Path instance with cleaned up vertices and codes.
"""
vertices, codes = _path.cleanup_path(self, transform,
remove_nans, clip,
snap, stroke_width,
simplify, curves, sketch)However, I'm not sure that the existing path simplification code is behaving correctly (another Issue incoming, I'll link when it's done), so perhaps this is not a bad thing.
