Label | Explanation | Data Type |
Input Layer | The point, line, or polygon features to be buffered. | Feature Set |
Output Name | The name of the output layer to create on your portal. | String |
Distances
(Optional) | A list of distance values to buffer the input features. You must supply values for either the distances or a distance field. You can enter a single distance value or multiple values. The units of the distance values is supplied by the distance units. | Double |
Distance Field (Optional) | A field from the input layer containing one buffer distance per feature. | Field |
Distance Units (Optional) | The units of the buffer distance. You must provide a value if cell size has been set.
| String |
Dissolve Type (Optional) | Determines how overlapping buffers are processed.
| String |
Buffer Ring Type (Optional) | Determines how multiple-distance buffers are processed.
| String |
Side Type (Optional) | When buffering line features, you can choose which side of the line to buffer. Typically, you choose both sides (Full, which is the default). Left and right are determined as if you were walking from the first x,y coordinate of the line (the start coordinate) to the last x,y coordinate of the line (the end coordinate). Choosing left or right usually means you know that your line features were created and stored in a particular direction (for example, upstream or downstream in a river network).
| String |
End Type (Optional) | The shape of the buffer at the end-of-line input features. This parameter is not valid for polygon input features. At the ends of lines, the buffer can be rounded (round) or be straight across (flat).
