#3628: PyGRASS: Use GEOS buffering
---------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: sbl | Owner: grass-dev@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.4.2
Component: PyGRASS | Version: svn-trunk
Keywords: buffer | CPU: All
Platform: All |
---------------------+-------------------------
Currently, PyGRASS uses native buffering functions (Vect_area_buffer2):
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/lib/python/pygrass/vector/geometry.py#L1654
This is known to have issues, which are not planned to be fixed (see:
#3448).
Thus PyGRASS should use GEOS-based buffering (as in v.buffer):
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/vector/v.buffer/main.c#L564
