This might sound strange but I am looking for a tool (extension,
algorithm, etc...) that simplifies multi-vertex (5+) polygons to only 4
points. An example would be to imagine you had building footprints for
a town. And all you need is a rectangle to represent each building. It
would be nice if the rectangle had the same general orientation and size
as the building footprint. Sounds like an easy enough question but
might be very time consuming to code up from scratch.
Thanks for any advice you can give. Will sum.
