[mapserver-users] PHP mapscript $shape->buffer() takes a long time

[Worth Lutz]

I'm trying to buffer a shape returned from a point query on a polygon layer
of parcels.

 

When I try to use:

 

$bufferedShape = $shape->buffer(200);

 

I get back a fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded.

I know that this is a php error message and that I could increase the
allowable execution time.

 

If I use a buffer distance of 175 I get results.

 

Should it take such a long time to but a buffer around this parcel?  It is a
large parcel with one corner being a long curve like a quarter of a circle
and another section on one side being a half circle.
