[Mapserver-users] Buffering in 3.7???

[Steve Lime]

Well, the code to do essentially buffered queries has been added to the
source tree. Works nicely. Basically it adds support to take layer
tolerances
into account when querying by feature or shape. You can do things like
find all features within a mile of an irregular polygon (with holes and
multiple
parts). Only support for polygons is in the query code (points existed

previously) although support for lines could easily be added.

Support to actually create a new, buffered, shape from an existing
shape
has not been done.

Folks...

Whatever happened with the buffering discussion that was going on a
few
months back? There was some talk of incorporating a buffering algorithm
in
3.7, I think... did this happen?
