If you run the 'Fixed distance buffer' tool from the Sextante QGIS
algorithms toolbox with a segment count of 1, then you will generate a
square polygon around each point. You may then need to rotate them by
45° to align with the coordsys axes if required.
Note that you have to use the Sextante version of the buffer command as
the Vector > Geoprocessing Tools > Buffer command won't allow a segment
count of less than 5 (maybe this restriction should be dropped?)

Dear all,
I have a point (from a shapefile) and I need to create a squared
buffer, centered on my point with a distance of 30 kms. How can I do
this in QGIS?
Thanks
Regards,
Luisa
