createbuffer

Calculates a buffer for input features for a given radius. Units supported are miles, kilometers, and degrees.

Parameters

• object (google.maps.Polygon | google.maps.Polyline | google.maps.Marker | google.maps.LatLng | Array<google.maps.LatLng> | Feature<(Polygon | Linestring | Point)>) input object to be buffered
• output String either 'geometry','object' (google.maps) or 'feature', case insensitive, defaults to 'feature'
• radius Number distance to draw the buffer (negative values are allowed)
• options Object options to pass to the buffer creation function
  • options.units String units in which the radius is expressed: 'kilometers', 'meters', 'miles'
  • options.steps number steps of the buffer. Higher steps result in smoother curves but more vertices

Returns (Feature | Feature<Geometry>) A GeoJson Feature or its geometry, according to output parameter
