[Qgis-user] different buffer for the same field

[Marco Grisolia]

I solved both cases of the previous email.
If you want to buffer starting from a specified distance stored in a field,
please have a look on this post [0] (written by me):

[0] https://howtoinqgis.wordpress.com/2016/11/28/how-to-buffer-v
ectors-from-fields-in-qgis-using-python/

If you want to directly buffer (for your specific case) without any
preliminary edit on the layer, copy&paste the code at the end of this
email: it was adapted from the link above (please refer to it for a clear
comprehension)

For both cases, you may decide to buffer all the features or only the
selected ones.
I hope it would be useful.
Best regards,
Marco

******** code below ********

##Input_Layer=vector
##Segments=number 30
##Buffer_only_selected_features=Boolean False

from qgis.core import *
from qgis.PyQt.QtCore import QVariant
import math

layer = processing.getObject(Input_Layer)
crs = layer.crs().toWkt()

# Create a dictionary with the preferred distances
distances = {'normal fault': 30, 'inverse fault': 20, 'Overthrust': 50,
'Syncline': 20}

# Create the output layer
outLayer = QgsVectorLayer('Polygon?crs='+ crs, 'outLayer' , 'memory')
prov = outLayer.dataProvider()
fields = layer.pendingFields() # Fields from the input layer
#fields.append(QgsField('drawn_area', QVariant.Double, '', 10, 3))
prov.addAttributes(fields) # Add input layer fields to the outLayer
outLayer.updateFields()

# Check for selected features
if layer.selectedFeatures() and Buffer_only_selected_features is True:
    features = layer.selectedFeatures()
else:
    features = layer.getFeatures()

# Generate buffers
for feat in features:
    inAttr = feat.attributes() # Input attributes
    inGeom = feat.geometry() # Input geometry
    bf_inGeom = inGeom.buffer(distances[feat['type']], Segments)
    poly=bf_inGeom.asPolygon()
    drawn_area = bf_inGeom.area()
    inAttr.append(drawn_area)
    outGeom = QgsFeature()
    outGeom.setGeometry(QgsGeometry.fromPolygon(poly))
    outGeom.setAttributes(inAttr) # Output attributes
    prov.addFeatures([outGeom]) # Output geometry

# Add the layer to the Layers panel
QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayer(outLayer)

******** end of the code ********
