##### simplify (with strategy)

Simplify a geometry using a specified strategy.

###### Synopsis

    template<typename Geometry, typename Distance, typename Strategy>
    void simplify(Strategy const & strategy, Geometry const & geometry, Geometry & out, Distance const & max_distance)

###### Parameters

Type | Concept | Name | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
Strategy const & | A type fulfilling a SimplifyStrategy concept | strategy | simplify strategy to be used for simplification, might include point-distance strategy
Geometry const & | Any type fulfilling a Geometry Concept | geometry | input geometry, to be simplified
Geometry & | Any type fulfilling a Geometry Concept | out | output geometry, simplified version of the input geometry
Distance const & | A numerical distance measure | max_distance | distance (in units of input coordinates) of a vertex to other segments to be removed
