Dear all,
I have a quite detailed SpatialPolygon of thousands of municipalities. Most
elements are formed by just one polygon, but some - thanks to islands or
rivers- are formed by multiple ones. These tiny polygons are useless to me.
Question: Is there a way create a SpatialPolygon formed by the largest
polygon of each element?
I've checked this:

But it is not exactly what I am looking for.
Yours thankfully,
Leo.
