How it maps to the operation
| Operation parameter | Parameter here | Note |
|---|---|---|
layer | input | Not stated |
output | output | Not stated |
distance | distance | Not stated |
unit | Not stated | always crs-units. Distance is in the layer's CRS units; convert it first. |
dissolve | Not stated | always no. No dissolve; union the output afterwards. |
segments | quadrant-segments | Not stated |
Differences from the operation
- Distance is in the layer's CRS units, so data in a geographic CRS is buffered in degrees.
