Hi,

        Could you please tell me how to buffer a lineString, and get the 
vertices of a polygon from it?

Thanks & Regards,
Rupesh

A linestring geometry with 4 points has 4 points.  When you see it 
rendered, it looks like a polygon to you, but the geometry is just a 
linestring.

It sounds like you're talking about buffering a geometry.  When you 
buffer a linestring geometry, you get a polygon geometry.
