LineThinningOperator.ThinningMethod Property
Gets or sets the thinning method that controls how errors are measured (horizontal or three-dimensional).
Syntax
public LineThinningMethod ThinningMethod { get; set; }Property Value
Default: Standard2D
The thinning method that controls how errors are measured (horizontal or three-dimensional).
Remarks
If you use this operator only to improve the performance for a 2D map, it should be safe to use the Standard2D method. But if you want to speed up some other calculation, for example a vertical profile, you may need to use Standard3D so that the z coordinates of the points are considered. Using the 3D option may be a few percents slower.
With the 3D option, the z coordinates are assumed to be in meters. Otherwise, if they are in feet, say, you can first convert them from feet to meters by inserting a preprocessing UnitConversionOperator that has convertHeights = True. If the z coordinates are in feet but you forget to convert them to meters, the LineThinningOperator may remove fewer points since the height differences will be enlarged.
