Do you know, where can I find which types are currently supported for the buffer() operation? Does it works with collections of points? Polylines?
No resp. yes.
Would I be better off pulling this from Boost.Polygon and doing the float/integer conversion myself?
You can try that. I don't know the state of the algorithm there. Well, I know Boost.Polygon supports polygons, and (afaik) not collection of points or polylines, so in that case the answer is no.

Thanks john

The buffer() algorithm for the general case is in development, and can be used from the development version (Trunk). It generally works but not in all circumstances, and for all geometry types. Regards, Barend
