- logical expression (e.g. AREA < 0.02)
- thickness ratio - user specified tolerance for selecting "skinny" polygons
- circularity - another way for identifying sliver polygons
- three methods to remove selected polygons
- join to the adjacent polygon with largest area
- join to the neighboring polygon with the longest common
border
- delete

fields. Multiple fields can be specified. Updates attributes
according user defined union rules.

attributes according user defined split rules

copying, buffering with maintaining the theme clean (no overlaps). User defined way of how
the new polygons will be added. See User Guide for more information.
