[vtkusers] how to simplify a curve to multiline/polygon

[John Biddiscombe]

Try vtkQuantizePolyDataPoints, which will merge points within a certain
tolerance or distance. It may close open lines, but for a curve of high
resolution you can reduce the points quite a bit before you'll get an
topological inconsistencies.

I wish to simplify a curve to a polygon or multiline, in order
to decrease the number of points needed to desribe it.

Is there a simple way / function / method of doing that with VTK?
