Description

This tool creates buffers around features in a grid. Features are defined by any value greater than zero. With the buffer distance method 'cell's value', the feature grid's cell values are used as buffer distance. In any case the buffer distance has to be specified using map units. The output buffer grid cell values refer to 1 := inside the buffer, 2 := feature location.
