You are pretty much correct, the load procedure will reduce the vertex count by the specified percentage. How it does the generalization I have no idea.
Though I believe that number is the percentage you want to reduce, not the total percentage you are after. So if you had 5 points along the line, 20% generalization would remove 1 point on that line. - Jackie Jonathan W wrote: > > I have several very large polyline shapefiles that I wish to put into my > Mapguide site.
