I am following the v.generalize tutorial at http://users.ox.ac.uk/~orie1848/tutorial.html
(we should move that to the wiki before it disappears)
but it doesn't say much about working with areas beyond removing small
ones.
That page and the images exists in the svn too. How does one go about
adding extra manual pages? Or perhaps we could integrate it into the
manual page itself?
I have a vector area which has a very "steppy" boundary, like from
r.to.vect with a sawtooth pattern at the cell edges. I want to run a
smoothing filter over it to get rid of the jaggy bits.
No matter what method I try my output map is always the same as the input
map, no vertices are created or destroyed.
any ideas how to do this? I know about 'v.clean tool=prune' and Markus
Metz's topology-preserving v.simplify (psst- add it to wiki addons) but
I'd like to learn more about how to use v.generalize.
How large is the cell you exported from? First you have to use a
smoothing operator. When you are done with the smoothing you should use
the douglas method to reduce the number of points.

I would strongly suggest to integrate at least the most important info into
the man page. Nobody maintains tutorials and other extra docs and they become
quickly obsolete. Also many people use man pages so there is a better
change of fixing / enhancing explanations if necessary,
