[OSM-dev] Polygon buffer tool (for Osmosis)

[Frank Steggink]

Hi,

I've created a small Python tool which buffers the polygon in a polygon 
file (for Osmosis), and creates a new polygon file. It can be found 
here: [1]. For the buffering PostGIS is used. All Canadian polygon files 
from [2] have been tested and are working.

Requirements: Python (2.6, but 2.5 likely works too), PostGIS (1.3+), 
PyGreSQL
More info can be found in the file itself, or by typing "./polybuffer.py 
-h" in the command prompt.

Please let me know any issues you experience with this tool.

Cheers,

Frank
