Remove spaces between polygons?

[ricardoekm]

Is it possible to fill in small gaps between two different polygons? I've come across this Command to remove splinter polygons, but couldn't tell from the comments whether this was implemented or not.

Thanks.

The -clean command can fill gaps. You can use the gap-fill-area= option to control the maximum-sized gap that will be filled. (wiki entry: https://github.com/mbloch/mapshaper/wiki/Command-Reference#-clean)

Mapshaper only knows how to fill gaps that are entirely surrounded by polygons. It can't currently fill gaps that are open on one side.

Does this limitation apply to a single layer or to the whole dataset? For example if I import a mosaic from 2 files with combine-files. Can mapshaper remove gaps at the border between those two layers?
