Excessive numbers of points in your drawings can increase the size of your web animations unnecessarily. Often you can reduce the number of points in a drawing, adjust the curve, and still maintain the same shape. This can be quite time consuming if you have a lot of brush strokes to adjust.
Toon Boom Studio can automate this process for you with the Smooth command. The Smooth command removes unnecessary points from a brush stroke and adjusts the brush stroke so that the curves are maintained.
You can apply the Smooth command repeatedly; however the more times you apply the command the less definition your shape will have.
To remove points with the Smooth command:
1. Select View > Show Strokes to display the lines that compose your drawing objects.
2. Click the Select 
tool and click the brush strokes you want to remove points from. To select multiple brush strokes, press [Shift] and click the brush strokes.
3. Select Tools > Smooth.
As soon as you activate the command, Toon Boom Studio removes points and recalculates the curves of the drawing objects you select.
