  * specify points/locations where points should not be removed by the simplification
  * topologic simplification: common boundaries between input features should stay common

* :meth:`~centerline` (medialaxis) calculation for polygons
* :meth:`~view_angles` calculation: the angles a polygon is visible from a certain
  view point
* utility functions to create and split grids
  (:meth:`~create_grid`, :meth:`~split_tiles`)
