[libreoffice-documentation] Eliminate points in Draw

[PeeWee <psauthor@gmail.com>]

On the Edit Points toolbar there is a tool called Eliminate Points.

The explanation in LO Draw help and version 3.4 of the guide do not explain
what this tool is for. The following is the text extracted from Draw help:

"Marks the current point or the selected points for deletion. This happens
in the event that the point is located on a straight line. If you convert a
curve or a polygon with the Convert to Curve icon into a straight line or
you change a curve with the mouse so that a point lies on the straight line,
it is removed. The angle from which the point reduction is to take place can
be set by choosing LibreOffice Draw - Grid in the Options dialog box"

I understand how to convert a curve to a line, but I cannot get this
Eliminate Points tool to work.

Also why have an Eliminate Points tool when there is already a tool called
Delete Points, which is very simple to use.

Can anybody shed some light on this one or point in the right direction to
find the information.

Regards

PeterS
