This sounds a bit like the "genetic algorithm approximating the mona lisa with rectangles" a few years back. Depending on what you're using it for, there may be some original research involved :)

can't wait to see the result tbh

i'm looking for a method to approximate arbitrary vector graphic shapes (circles, rects, bezier curves, etc.) with line segments.

does anybody know the proper search terms for an algorithm doing that?

greets,
amir
