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.
