Approximates one or more curves and returns the approximation result[s]. In case of multiple curves approximation the resultant tree will have the same structure as the input one (1:1 correspondence)

public Contour ApproxPoly( double accuracy, int maxLevel, MemStorage storage )
Public Function ApproxPoly ( _ accuracy As Double, _ maxLevel As Integer, _ storage As MemStorage _ ) As Contour
public: Contour^ ApproxPoly( double accuracy, int maxLevel, MemStorage^ storage )

- accuracy (Double)
- The desired approximation accuracy
- maxLevel (Int32)
- Maximal level for contour approximation. If 0, only contour is arrpoximated. If 1, the contour and all contours after it on the same level are approximated. If 2, all contours after and all contours one level below the contours are approximated, etc. If the value is negative, the function does not draw the contours following after contour but draws child contours of contour up to abs(maxLevel)-1 level
- storage (MemStorage)
- The storage the resulting sequence use

The approximated contour
