Buffer Geometry Activity
Description
Creates buffer polygons at a specified distance around the input geometries.
Usage
You may need to buffer around a geometry. A common scenario is to first buffer around a feature using the Buffer Geometry activity, and then use a Query Layer activity with the buffered geometry as an input to find out what is near the feature.
Inputs
|
Geometry |
|
Required Type: esri.Geometry (3.x, 4.x)* | esri.Geometry[] (3.x, 4.x)* The buffer input geometry. |
|
Distance |
|
Required The specified distance(s) for buffering. |
|
Unit |
|
Optional Type: "meters" | "feet" | "kilometers" | "miles" | "nautical-miles" | "yards" | String Measurement unit of the distances. Defaults to the units of the input geometries. Known values: meters | feet | kilometers | miles | nautical-miles | yards |
|
Geodesic |
|
Optional Type: Boolean Whether to use a geodesic buffer or a non-geodesic buffer. |
|
Union |
|
Optional Type: Boolean Whether the output geometries should be unioned into a single polygon. |
* VertiGIS Studio Workflow uses different versions of Esri's ArcGIS API for JavaScript depending on the type of host application. See Underlying Technologies for information.
Outputs
|
geometry |
|
Type: esri.Polygon (3.x, 4.x)* The first buffer or result (or the union result). |
|
results |
|
Type: esri.Polygon[] (3.x, 4.x)* The buffer results. |
