geopandas.GeoSeries.simplify

GeoSeries.simplify(self, *args, **kwargs)

Returns a GeoSeries containing a simplified representation of each geometry.

See http://shapely.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual.html#object.simplify for details

Parameters
tolerancefloat

All points in a simplified geometry will be no more than tolerance distance from the original.

preserve_topology: bool

False uses a quicker algorithm, but may produce self-intersecting or otherwise invalid geometries.
