Go to ET GeoWizards 12.x User Guide
Creates buffer polygons from the polylines of the input dataset. The user can specify the side of the polyline (Left, Right or Both) on which the buffer to be created as well as the shape of the buffer at the end of the polylines - Round or Flat. The buffer distance (in the units of the spatial reference of the input dataset) can be entered as a number (equal for all input polylines)or a numeric field. No negative buffer distance is accepted.
Inputs:
Outputs:
Notes :
Examples:
Round buffer both sides (with dissolve option) |
Flat buffer both sides |
|
|
Flat buffer on the left side | Round buffer on the right side |
![]() |
![]() |
Buffer on the left side cannot be created. | Round end will be created if a complete flat end cannot be created. |
![]() |
![]() |
Command line syntax
ET_GPBufferPolylines<input_dataset> <out_feature class> {buffer_distance_field} {buffer_distance} <Both | Left | Right> <Round | Flat> <dissolve_buffers>
Parameters
Expression | Explanation |
---|---|
<input_dataset> | A Point feature class or feature layer |
<out_feature class> | A String - the full name of the output feature class (A feature class with the same full name should not exist) |
{buffer_distance_field} | A String representing the name of a field in the in the attribute table of the input dataset field name. The field has the values for the buffer distance to be used. |
{buffer_distance} | A Double representing the buffer distance (in the units of the spatial reference of the input dataset). |
<buffer_side> | A String representing the side of the polylines on which the buffers will be created. The available options are: Left, Right and Both |
<shape_end> |
Required. A String representing the shape of the
buffer at the ends of the polylines. The available options are:
|
<dissolve_buffers> | A Boolean. If True - the boundaries of the intersecting buffers will be dissolved. |
