◆ Vect_merge_lines()

int Vect_merge_lines	(	struct Map_info *	Map,
		int	type,
		int *	new_lines,
		struct Map_info *	Err
	)

Merge lines or boundaries in vector map.

Merges lines specified by type in vector map. Useful for generalization and smoothing. Adjacent boundaries are merged as long as topology is maintained. Adjacent lines are merged as long as there are exactly two different lines with identical categories connected at a given node. Zero-length lines need to be removed first. GV_BUILD_BASE as topo build level is sufficient, areas need not be built.

Parameters

	Map	input vector map
	type	feature type
[out]	Err	vector map where merged lines/boundaries will be written or NULL
	new_lines	pointer to where number of new lines/boundaries is stored or NULL

Returns: number of merged lines/boundaries
