QGIS algorithm - Variable distance buffer — qgis

QGIS Algorithm provided by QGIS Variable distance buffer (qgis:variabledistancebuffer). This algorithm computes a buffer area for all the features in an input layer. The size of the buffer for a given feature is defined by an attribute, so it allows different features to have different buffer sizes.

qgis_variabledistancebuffer(
  INPUT = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  FIELD = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  SEGMENTS = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  DISSOLVE = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  END_CAP_STYLE = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  JOIN_STYLE = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  MITER_LIMIT = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  OUTPUT = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  ...,
  .complete_output = .complete_output_option(),
  .quiet = .quiet_option(),
  .messages = .message_option()
)

Arguments

INPUT: source - Input layer. Path to a vector layer.
FIELD: field - Distance field. The name of an existing field. ; delimited list of existing field names.
SEGMENTS: number - Segments. A numeric value. field:FIELD_NAME to use a data defined value taken from the FIELD_NAME field. expression:SOME EXPRESSION to use a data defined value calculated using a custom QGIS expression.
DISSOLVE: boolean - Dissolve result. 1 for true/yes. 0 for false/no. field:FIELD_NAME to use a data defined value taken from the FIELD_NAME field. expression:SOME EXPRESSION to use a data defined value calculated using a custom QGIS expression.
END_CAP_STYLE: enum of ("Round", "Flat", "Square") - End cap style. Number of selected option, e.g. '1'. Comma separated list of options, e.g. '1,3'.
JOIN_STYLE: enum of ("Round", "Miter", "Bevel") - Join style. Number of selected option, e.g. '1'. Comma separated list of options, e.g. '1,3'.
MITER_LIMIT: number - Miter limit. A numeric value. field:FIELD_NAME to use a data defined value taken from the FIELD_NAME field. expression:SOME EXPRESSION to use a data defined value calculated using a custom QGIS expression.
OUTPUT: sink - Buffer. Path for new vector layer.
...: further parameters passed to qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm()
.complete_output: logical specifying if complete out of qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() should be used (TRUE) or first output (most likely the main) should read (FALSE). Default value is TRUE.
.quiet: logical specifying if parameter .quiet for qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() Default value is TRUE.
.messages: logical specifying if messages from qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() should be printed (TRUE) or not (FALSE). Default value is FALSE.
