I am already calling the Buffer() method from an MgGeometry polygon with an arbitrary number of x,y coordinates. However, the buffer that the method returns is a circle, and not the shape of that polygon.
I took my code from the Autodesk Dev Guide sample selectfeaturesinbuffer.php, and also from buffer.php in the mapviewerphp folder. Both of those programs also return a round buffer from an MgGeometry polygon. Does this mean it is not possible to produce a rectangle polygon?
