Returns the Geometry, simplified using the Douglas-Peucker algorithm

tolerance provided, defaults to 0.

be split, collapse to lines or disappear holes can be created or
disappear, and lines can cross. By specifying preserve_topology=True,
the result will have the same dimension and number of components as the
input. This is significantly slower.
