Multipart polygons are simplified as individual parts. The polygon output will contain all the input fields the point output will not contain any of the input fields. The point output name and location is automatically derived from the output polygon name with a _Pnt suffix. The tool produces two output feature classes, a polygon feature class to store the simplified polygons and a point feature class to store points that represent any polygons that were collapsed to zero-area. For a group of adjacent polygons which share common edges, it applies to the total area of the group. Any polygons which are smaller than the minimum area after the simplification process is completed will be removed from the output feature class.
The Minimum Area parameter applies to simplified polygons only. Use this method for less, more refined simplification. It operates by eliminating insignificant bends along polygons. The Retain critical bends method (BEND_SIMPLIFY in Python) is slower but typically produces results that are more faithful to the original and more aesthetically pleasing.The angularity (sharp corners) of the resulting polygon will increase significantly as the tolerance increases, so the polygon may become less aesthetically pleasing. Use this method for data compression or more coarser simplification, especially when the data is well-known. The Retain critical points method (POINT_REMOVE in Python) is the faster of the two processes.Simplifies polygons by removing extraneous bends while preserving essential shape.
