Simplifying Multiple neighbouring Polygons, removing gaps and overlaps
My main goal is to simplify multiple polygons, avoiding overlaps and gaps between them.
My initial approach was:
Find intersections for each polygon
so that I end up with an array of polygons, each ...

Competing approaches to line & polygon simplification
There seems to be a few theoretical options around at the moment for geometric simplification. Douglas–Peucker seems the most established, followed by Visvalingam's approach (used by d3.js). Now ...
