Hello,
Can anyone tell me what the buffer distance along minor axis option does with the v.buffer command? In other words what is a minor axis in this context?

If working with vector point data and co-ordinates in meters, then using v.buffer with (e.g.) a major axis of 25000 and minor axis of 10000 would create ellipsoid buffers around the point data. If you used v.buffer with only a major axis of 25000, this would create a circle buffer.
