Abstract
This paper discusses the challenges of flat-cap and other linestring buffers, especially in automated applications. The pitfalls of existing implementations are introduced, stemming from the lack of a satisfactory definition of some linestring buffer variants. The buffers' roots in computational geometry are explored. Several candidate methods for robust buffer construction are described, and a novel method is proposed.
