Re: [jts-dev] BufferOp on polygon exterior ring - End Cap?

[Martin Janda <jandam@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for fast reply. 

Yes, I don't want the CAP_FLAT to appear in the linear ring.

 I'm not using CAP_ROUND because I need CAP_FLAT for the line string. 

  In general I have GeometryCollection  of Polygons and LineStrings.

  Maybe the best solution is to use Polygonizer to extract polygons and LineStrings. And process each geometry type with different CAP parameter. 

Buffering polygon gives different result than buffering exterior ring.

EXAMPLE:

  Simple polygon - no holes = rectangle

Buffering polygon without holes gives larger polygon again without holes.

 X

Buffering exterior ring gives polygon with hole. 

 (This is suitable for wall around garden)

I may not be understanding correctly, but it seems like you don't actually want the CAP_FLAT to appear in the linear ring buffer.  In that case, why not use CAP_ROUND?  Or else just buffer the polygon itself (instead of extracting the boundary as a linear ring).

Hi,

  please can you help me with my problem.

I want to buffer exterior ring of polygon with join=ROUND, cap=FLAT. This setting works for LineStrings as expected. But there is problem with closed rings.

PSEUDOCODE:

Polygon p = ...;

Geometry outline = p.getExteriorRing(); // linear ring

BufferParameters bufParams = new BufferParameters();
bufParams.setEndCapStyle(CAP_FLAT);
bufParams.setJoinStyle(JOIN_ROUND);
BufferOp.bufferOp(outline, 0.5, bufParams);

I would expect that 'join' will be used for first and last coordinate because outline is closed ring.
Currently cap=FLAT is used for first and last point. Tested on JTS < 1.14. I'm sorry I can't test it on latest JTS.

Is this my misunderstanding? Or is there another parameter?

REAL USAGE:
P is polygon of garden. I would like to construct wall (width=0.5m) around the garden.


Thank you for your help.
