As you can see the polygon has lots of points. We need to simplify the polygon in order to obtain a mesh of reasonable size. Otherwise gmsh will have problems meshing and the result could be huge (or a segmentation fault :( ). The package geometry (> 1.5.0) comes with a simplification function that uses the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramer%E2%80%93Douglas%E2%80%93Peucker_algorithm Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm] to reduce thenumber of points in the polygon. | As you can see the polygon has lots of points.

You should play with the tolerance option until you get a nice polygon. | You should play with the tolerance option until you get a nice polygon. | ||
