\label{sec:abstract}
Currently available line simplification algorithms are rooted in mathematics
and geometry, and are unfit for natural features like rivers and
coastlines. {\WM} algorithm is derived from cartographic knowledge, and
thus is well suited for natural features. We also documented our
implementation, which allows anyone understand the algorithm and our
implementation in detail.
and geometry, and are unfit for bendy map features like rivers and
coastlines. {\WnM} observed how cartographers simplify these natural
features and created an algorithm. We implemented this algorithm and
documented it in great detail. Our implementation makes {\WM} algorithm
freely available in PostGIS, and this paper explains it.
