.. method:: GEOSGeometry.simplify(tolerance=0.0, preserve_topology=False)
Returns a new :class:`GEOSGeometry`, simplified using the Douglas-Peucker
algorithm to the specified tolerance. A higher tolerance value implies
less points in the output. If no tolerance is tolerance provided,
it defaults to 0.

By default, this function does not preserve topology - e.g.,
:class:`Polygon` objects can be split, collapsed into lines or disappear.
:class:`Polygon` holes can be created or disappear, and lines can cross.

:class:`Polygon` holes can be created or disappear, and lines may cross.
By specifying ``preserve_topology=True``, the result will have the same
dimension and number of components as the input, however, this is
significantly slower.
