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.

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.
