Abstract :
Buffer Analysis is one of the most important functions of spatial analysis in GIS. This paper uses rotation transform point formula and recursion method to further improve on the vector buffer generation algorithm of double parallel lines and circular arcs, simplifies the process of the generation of parallel lines and the circular correction of sharp angles, and finds a better solution to intersection problem of borderlines of buffer zone.
