I have mentioned this before, but can't seem to find it now. There needs to be a way to reduce anchor points on selections. Something a bit smarter is needed; the manual repairs/simplifications are quite tedious.

Thanks, ShaTy, I knew it was there but couldn't find it today. I want to keep it in the team's mind.
Chat GPT helped a bit, but I can' do it.

I have a pixel alpha character, for example a zero, that has dozens and dozens of anchor points as a result of converting to a vector shape. I need some kind of pseudocode to reduce/minimize the number of anchor points for the vector.

To reduce the number of anchor points in a vector shape, you can use a simplification algorithm that iteratively removes unnecessary points while preserving the overall shape of the vector. Here's a pseudocode example of how you might approach this task:
Here's an example of how this pseudocode might look in Python code:
In this code:
