[GRASS-user] v.buffer: circles around points

[Achim Kisseler]

Hi Sharon,

that sould be the radius, but:

due to changing distances on latitude, the circle is not a true circle, 
as you can see when you reproject the map.

The buffer distance is in degree.

Hope, everything is correct,
regards,
Achim
