How to smooth a freehand drawn SVG path?

Question

I am looking for a solution to convert a freehand, user drawn SVG path, consisting of lots auf LineTo segments, into a smoother one.

Preferred language would be JavaScri

Answer 1

i'm with the same problem, looking at paperjs examples i saw that they have one example for path simplification, lurking the algorithm behind it you can see it here: https://github.com/paperjs/paper.js/blob/master/src/path/PathFitter.js

It's the algorithm that simplify the path witch is a js version (with optimizations) of a academic study named "An algorithm for automatically fitting digitized curves".

I'm on the works of extracting this algorithm only and will probably publich it as a plugin to svg.js.
