QGIS Algorithm provided by QGIS (native c++) Simplify coverage (native:coveragesimplify). Simplifies a coverage of polygon features while retaining valid coverage This algorithm operates on a coverage (represented as a set of polygon features with exactly matching edge geometry) to apply a Visvalingam–Whyatt simplification to the edges, reducing complexity in proportion with the provided tolerance, while retaining a valid coverage (i.e. no edges will cross or touch after the simplification). Geometries will never be removed, but they may be simplified down to just a triangle. Also, some geometries (such as polygons which have too few non-repeated points) will be returned unchanged. If the input dataset is not a valid coverage due to overlaps, it will still be simplified, but invalid topology such as crossing edges will still be invalid.

)source - Input layer. Path to a vector layer.
distance - Tolerance. A numeric value. field:FIELD_NAME to use a data defined value taken from the FIELD_NAME field. expression:SOME EXPRESSION to use a data defined value calculated using a custom QGIS expression.
boolean - Preserve boundary. 1 for true/yes. 0 for false/no. field:FIELD_NAME to use a data defined value taken from the FIELD_NAME field. expression:SOME EXPRESSION to use a data defined value calculated using a custom QGIS expression.
sink - Simplified. Path for new vector layer.
further parameters passed to qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm()
logical specifying if complete out of qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() should be used (TRUE) or first output (most likely the main) should read (FALSE). Default value is TRUE.
logical specifying if parameter .quiet for qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() Default value is TRUE.
logical specifying if messages from qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() should be printed (TRUE) or not (FALSE). Default value is FALSE.
