Geo Buffer Geometry


Description​

Creates a buffer polygon geometry from a geometry


Required inputs​

  • JTS Geometry
  • EPSG Code
  • Distance
  • Cap Style
  • Join Style
  • Mitre-Limit
  • Side
  • Simplify Factor
  • Quadrant Segments

Configuration​

Geometry field​

Input Geometry

EPSG field​

Integer value representing EPSG code

Distance​

The buffer distance around in geometry in meter

Cap Style​

Defines the endcap style of the buffer.

  • CAP_ROUND - the usual round end caps
  • CAP_FLAT - end caps are truncated flat at the line ends
  • CAP_SQUARE - end caps are squared off at the buffer distance beyond the line ends

Simplify Factor​

The default simplify factor Provides an accuracy of about 1%, which matches the accuracy of the default Quadrant Segments parameter.

Quadrant Segments​

The default number of facets into which to divide a fillet of 90 degrees.

Join Style​

Defines the corners in a buffer

  • JOIN_ROUND - the usual round join
  • JOIN_MITRE - corners are "sharp" (up to a distance limit)
  • JOIN_BEVEL - corners are beveled (clipped off).

Mitre-Limit​

Mitre ratio limit (only affects mitered join style)

Side​

left or right performs a single-sided buffer on the geometry, with the buffered side relative to the direction of the line or polygon.


Output​

A polygon geometry with EPSG code. Shape is defined by input parameters.
