I was thinking that the easiest thing to do would be to set the buffer distance based on a single attribute value. Your idea of using a formula is even better. This seems like it would require defining a formula in some language, and being able to parse and execute it. Has anyone done anything like this before? (Apart from Beanshell - which is a different thing).

Side comment: when I get JEQL bolted in to JUMP this kind of thing will be come very easy... soon, hopefully.

I agree that creating buffers based on the value of an attribute would be useful. At my company, we do some buffer analysis that might benefit from this capability. I might be able to justify the time to extend OJ's buffer tool (which is currently in sync with SkyJUMP).

Based on Ravi's past requirements for features that support "mineral prognostication" (I love that term), his definition of buffers might be more complex than mine. :-) For our use, however, I can imagine needing the capability to compute the buffer distance based on a formula entered by the user.

    Seems like a nice addition to the Buffer tool.  Should be simple
    to add....

        Hi all,
        in an exercise for Mineral prognostication now am able to
        achieve most after the 'Polygon Union Intersection' is added
        and am very thankful for the same.

        However on linear features (Dykes in Geology) which are
        supposed to receiving buffering as per another attribute, find
        the going repititive. Buffering has to be done depending on an
        attribute value of the same table. But am forced to split the
        data into as many classes of the attribute for buffering them
        and then add all of them (replicate selected features) into a
        layer again.

        This can be solved if, Buffering can be done with an attribute
        value than a constant we are asked to provide.

        Cheers
        Ravi Kumar
