About this tool
Mapshaver is a web based cartographic schematization tool, written in Typescript. It supports the schematization of geo data (GeoPackage, FlatGeobuf) in an accessible and interactive way. It implements the algorithm proposed in:Area-Preserving Simplification and Schematization of Polygonal Subdivisions (Buchin, K., Meulemans, W., Van Renssen, A., & Speckmann, B. (2016). Area-Preserving Simplification and Schematization of Polygonal Subdivisions. ACM Transactions on Spatial Algorithms and Systems , 2(1), 1-36. [2]. https://doi.org/10.1145/2818373.)
