Function: geoBuffer(Geometry value, Double distance, Integer decimalPlaces, Integer quadrantSegments)

Computes a buffer area around left geometry using the given distance

If passed a string the geometry functions will automatically convert it into a geometry object.

Syntax

geoBuffer( geometryValue, Distance, decimalPlaces, quadrantSegments )

Argument	Type	Description
geometryValue	WTK String or Geometry Object	The geometry the calculation is formed around provided in either data type.
Distance	Float	The size of the buffer area to be used.
decimalPlaces	Integer	The number of decimal places to use in the geometry calculations. Defaults to 0 if not provided. Can also take negative values e.g. -1 uses geometry to the nearest 10.
quadrantSegments	Integer	The number of line segments used to represent the quadrant of a circle where the buffer boundary contains circular arcs. Defaults to 8 if not provided.

geoBuffer("POLYGON ((30 10, 40 40, 20 40, 10 20, 30 10))", 10)

Returns a Geometry of the buffer area.
