Huh.  My email from last night didnt make it though.

Sorry to spam the list.  This is my last one, I swear.

ST_Buffer was exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks Bob for pointing me back the right direction.

The blue part is the selected parcel.  The gray is the ST_Buffer.

Because I actually need to see the shape.  One step is to see the shape,
the second will be to find the parcels that touch it, which will use
ST_DWithin for speed plus ST_Buffer for accuracy.

Why not use ST_DWithin with the original triangle, it is the best option
regarding speed and precision.

    At first I thought no, because it creates a circle around a point:

    "Returns a geometry that represents all points whose distance from
    this Geometry is less than or equal to distance"

    But now that I read it again, maybe it does do what I'd like.  If I
    pass a rectangle, it'll return all points <= radius.

    I'll give it a shot and try it out.  Thanks for the help.

        Can you use ST_Buffer??

            Hi all.

            I have buffer selection problem.  My site can drop a point,
            then find all the parcels within 100 feet of that point.  No
            problem.

            One client however would like to select a parcel (maybe its
            a square, maybe its a triangle, or any other odd shape), and
            find all other parcels within 100 feet of any point within
            the source parcel.

            100 is optional.  They could choose 50, or 150.

            I'm not sure how to do something like this.  I found
            ST_Expand, but that'll create a bounding box around the
            triangle.

            ST_TransScale could scale it, but I'm not sure what the
            scale is.  The user might type in 50 feet or 150 feet, I'm
            not sure how to calculate a deltaX and deltaY scale for
that.

            Any hints on how I might go about this?  I'm a bit stuck.

            Thanks,

            -Andy
