[postgis-users] ST_Buffer internals

Hi All,
I am wondering how ST_Buffer computes a buffer around say a LINESTRING? How
can I look at the internals of this?
Is it possible to achieve the same effect using GDAL's C++ API? I ask
because I have a very large LIDAR 3-D data set
which I cannot load into Postgis, but I would certainly want to understand
how postgis achieves some of it's
functionality, to get some ideas. Would love to hear some explanations or
ideas about how to do this!

Cheers,
Ed
