#2000 new enhancement

Ftools -> add a "don't make caps at the end of polylines" and "side" options in the buffer tool

Reported by: lutra Owned by: cfarmer
Priority: minor: annoyance Milestone: Version 2.0.0
Component: fTools Version: Trunk
Keywords: Cc:
Must Fix for Release: No Platform: All
Platform Version: Awaiting user input: no

Description

The first one is available in GRASS v.buffer, but this misses a option to avoid the dissolve of buffer results, so actually we have a kind of incomplete buffer tool in both QGIS and GRASS.

The second option (missing also in v.buffer) would be very useful in some cases and coupled with the above one would complete the buffer tool and give ex arc* user the same options they were used to. See this screenshot

This functionality has recently been added to JTS, which means that it should be available in GEOS sometime in the near future. Once this happens, it will make it into QGIS, at which point it will be implemented. Apologies for the delay, but at this stage there is no point in duplicating work if it has already been done 'down the line'.

I am updating the milestone for now to reflect this 'waiting'.
