Something like the following might get you started (note: limited testing and I'm no programmer :) #buffer.py import sys,os from osgeo import ogr def buffer(infile,outfile,buffdist): try: ds=ogr.Open(infile) drv=ds.GetDriver() if os.path.exists(outfile):

Hi Brent, Unfortunately the data is already out of Postgres, so I don't have that option anymore. I was hoping there might be some way of invoking a geos function in ogr2ogr. Thanks though, Roger -- On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 2:25 PM, wrote: > > Yep. > > In your ogr2ogr query string query try >

Yep. In your ogr2ogr query string query try "select buffer(area, nn.nn) as geom from table where...;" PostGIS will buffer it before sending it to GDAL for export to shapefile. Or if you are repeatedly doing this, create a view in PostGIS with the buffer, & select this with GDAL, whichever sui
