The purpose of the algorithm is that given a 'curve' cmposedcomposed of line segments to find a curve not too dissimilar but that has fewer points. The algorithm defines 'too dissimilar' based on the maximum distance between the original curve and the smoothed curve. The smoothed curve consists of a subset of the points that defined the original curve.
