Hello, i would like generate a buffer (20kms) around my shapefile (line).
In a 1st time, i tied to do that with wgs84 parameters (for the layer & project). But the result was a big circle. In 2 2nd time, i converted my raw shapefile into wgs 84 mercator world. I entered this value for buffer-distance : 20000. i think the unity is meter. Could you confirm to me that the unity is meter? I succeed in generating a buffer. But when i measure the value of the buffer with the measurement tool, the value is 15 kms, no 20 kms. Could you throw light for me ? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Buffer-with-qgis-wgs84-mercator-world-tp5052504.html Sent from the Quantum GIS - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
