qgis_fixeddistancebuffer: Fixed distance buffer

In smitty1788/mercatoR: Simple navigation of QGIS, GRASS, SAGA, and GDAL algorithms

Description

This algorithm computes a buffer area for all the features in an input layer, using a fixed distance.

Usage

qgis_fixeddistancebuffer(input, output, distance, segments = 5,
  dissolve = FALSE)

Arguments

input	<chr> or simple feature object Target layer. Use either a file destination or simple feature dataframe
output	<chr> Use a string file destination
distance	<num> Distance units are equivelent to coordinate system units of input shapefile/geojson/sf
segments	<num> Numeric value which determines how many segments are used to draw each section of the buffer. A higher value gives a smoother shape
dissolve	<boolean> TRUE or FALSE. TRUE dissolves all buffers into one continous polygon

Value

simple feature, geojson, or shapefile(.shp)

Examples

qgis_fixeddistancebuffer(input = 'G:/DC Policy Center/DC_One/Data/Spatial/Metro_GIS_shapefiles/Line.shp',
                         output = 'G:/DC Policy Center/DC_One/Data/Spatial/Metro_GIS_shapefiles/buffer.shp',
                         distance = 1000)

qgis_fixeddistancebuffer(input = Lines,
                         output = 'G:/DC Policy Center/DC_One/Data/Spatial/Metro_GIS_shapefiles/buffer.shp',
                         distance = 1000)
