ST_Buffer(<linestring>, distance) http://www.postgis.org/docs/ST_Buffer.html
Note that if your data is lat/long (such as EPSG:4326) with units in degrees, then you will get somewhat distorted buffer distances, and a better result by transforming your linestring to a more suitable projection for the buffer operation, then transform it back. eg: ST_Transform(ST_Buffer(ST_Transform(<linestring>, SRID), distance),4326) HTH, Brent Wood --- On Fri, 3/2/12, Ed Linde <edoli...@gmail.com> wrote: From: Ed Linde <edoli...@gmail.com> Subject: [postgis-users] Forming a BAND around a linestring To: "PostGIS Users Discussion" <postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net> Date: Friday, March 2, 2012, 11:17 PM Hi All,I have a set of points with (x,y) co-ordinates that belong to a single object ex: a segment in a road network.If we made a LINESTRING that connected these points (x,y), then I would like to have a BAND or RANGE around the linestring of say 10 meters wide that would probably make it look more like a polygon or some area. How can I achieve this in postgis 2.0? Do I need to use some library like GDAL in order to achieve this?
