Buffer by Area

Question

Hello,

I need to buffer by an area rather than a length. For example I need a buffer with an area of 89209m squared. Does anyone know a way of doing this?

Thank you very much

Dear Drew. I am looking for this tool. The link in your reply does not work anymore. Do you mind to post a new link? Thanks a lot!

Apologies for the late reply. I doubt it is typical but I am trying to predict the size of school catchment areas based on pupil numbers. For example I may predict a school with 1000 pupils will have a catchment of 10 miles squared for which I needed to create a buffer for by area.

Cheers

Can I ask what your application is? I wrote this tool, and am always looking for 'typical' cases where someone would want the buffers to be a specified area. Thanks
