Abstract Abstract boundsThe bounds of this shape. This property is to be treated in a read only manner. An error will be thrown when trying to assign to this property. Note that the bounds property is not immutable. Modifying properties of the bounds property may corrupt your data.
Returns the contour of the Geobuffer, as a shape. By definition, the contour of the buffer is constructed by creating a closed polygon around the axis, in which each point lies at a distance equal to the width from the axis
This method returns a copy of the contour. Modifying it will not have any effect on the geobuffer visualization.

Abstract coordinateThe coordinate type this shape. This property is read only. An Error will be thrown when trying to assign to this property.
The end cap style of this buffer, which defines the representation of the contour at the endings of the base shape. This is a member of the EndCapStyle enumeration. By default, CAP_ROUND is used.
The focus point of this shape. This property is read only. An error will be thrown when trying to assign to this property. This property contains an object but should be treated with value semantics: changes to the shape will not be reflected in the focusPoint that was retrieved from this Polygon before the modification.
The spatial reference of this shape. This property is read only. An Error will be thrown when trying to assign to this property.
The width of this buffer, expressed in meters and measured from the line segments of the base shape to the contour. The width must be positive.
Determines whether a given point is inside this shape. This method checks containment only in two dimensions: on the (x,y)-axis or the (lon,lat)-axis (depending on the spatial reference of the shape).
true when the given point is contained in this shape
Abstract contains2DCoordinatesDetermines whether the given point is inside this shape. This method checks containment only in two dimensions: on the (x,y)-axis or the (lon,lat)-axis (depending on the spatial reference of the shape).
The x coordinate of the point for which containment must be checked
The y coordinate of the point for which containment must be checked
true when the given point is contained in this shape
Point with another spatial reference

Abstract copyIndicates whether this shape is equal to another.
the other shape this shape is compared with.
true if both shapes are equal, false otherwise.

A GeoBuffer represents all points whose distance to the base shape is less than or equal to a certain distance.
A buffer is an area around a given shape, adding a fixed width to the shape.
The contour of the buffer is a polygon in which each exterior point lies at a fixed distance from the line segments of the base shape.
The supported base shapes are polylines and polygons.
For open base shapes (polylines), it is possible specify a CAP_BUTT end style (see EndCapStyle enumeration) that cuts off the buffer at the start and end of the base shape.
