##What it is A simplified path generator for D3, a drop in replacement for d3.svg.line with the added ability to specify a tolerance.
eg:
var simple = simplePath()
.tolerance(3)
.x(function(d){ return dateScale(d.date); })
.y(function(d){ return valueScale(d.value); })
Based on Simplify.js a tiny high-performance JavaScript polyline simplification library by Vladimir Agafonkin, extracted from Leaflet, a JS interactive maps library by the same author.
It uses a combination of Douglas-Peucker and Radial Distance algorithms.
The reusable code is in simplified-path.js. At the moment I'm using browserify (i.e. require('module') type thing )
