[GRASS-dev] r34409: Replace r.buffer with a script using r.grow.distance

[Hamish]

Hi,

re. r34409: Replace r.buffer with a script using r.grow.distance

I am wondering, does r.grow.distance do the right thing in Lat/Lon?
If not, then the C version of r.buffer still has an important advantage
and should stay.


e.g.: (latest SVN for r.in.poly; see attached)

g.region n=60S s=85S w=30 e=60 res=0:05
r.in.poly in=- out=dot_map << EOF
P
 45E 72:30S
= 1 dot
EOF

g.region n=43:20S s=90S w=10 e=80E
r.buffer in=dot_map out=dot_map.500nm dist=500 units=nautmiles

d.mon x0
d.rast dot_map.500nm
d.grid 30
