title: How could I reduce the complexity of an image map?
body: <p>I'm using <em>KImageMapEditor</em> on Linux (Ubuntu) to create an image map. The shapes in the image are a little complex so I'm using the freehand tool to draw them. However, this is really the same as the polygon tool so the shapes have ended up with <em>a lot</em> of points, which has made the HTML pretty huge.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of a way to reduce the complexity of the shapes, like "smoothing out" the lines?</p>
  
  <p>I should also mention the reason I want the shapes to be fairly accurate is because I'm intending to do something like this, where each shape is highlighted on mouseover: <a href="http://davidlynch.org/js/maphilight/docs/demo_usa.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://davidlynch.org/js/maphilight/docs/demo_usa.html</a></p>
