coton in the elms
if the point furthest from the line segment is greater than "ε" from the approximation then that point must be kept. the algorithm recursively calls itself with the first point and the furthest point and then with the furthest point and the last point, which includes the furthest point being marked as kept.









































when the recursion is completed a new output curve can be generated consisting of all and only those points that have been marked as kept.
