[Line Simplification ⭐](https://geoman.io/docs/maplibre/edit-modes/edit-line_simplification): Simplify polyline and polygon vertices to reduce complexity. - [Rotate](https://geoman.io/docs/maplibre/edit-modes/edit-rotate): Rotate features around their center point. - [Scale ⭐](https://geoman.io/docs/maplibre/edit-modes/edit-scale): Scale features to resize them proportionally. - [Split ⭐](https://geoman.io/docs/maplibre/edit-modes/edit-split): Split features into multiple parts using a cutting line. - [Union ⭐](https://geoman.io/docs/maplibre/edit-modes/edit-union): Merge overlapping features into a single combined geometry. ## Helper Modes - [Auto Trace ⭐](https://geoman.io/docs/maplibre/helper-modes/helper-auto_trace): Automatically trace along existing feature edges when drawing new shapes. - [Measurements ⭐](https://geoman.io/docs/maplibre/helper-modes/helper-measurements): Display live distance, area, and perimeter measurements during drawing and editing. - [Pin ⭐](https://geoman.io/docs/maplibre/helper-modes/helper-pin): Pin markers to specific positions that persist across interactions. -
