Strange Buffer Results - Looks like Pac-Man

Drew · ‎07-31-2013

Hello,
I am having strange results with specific buffers under 106 meters only.
See attached image.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]26360[/ATTACH]

Below are my buffer parameters..

bufferSR 102100
distances 100
f json
geodesic true
geometries {"geometries":[{"rings":[[[-8874155.9794,5583095.049000002],[-8874094.4103,5583035.197099999],[-8874113.6844,5583015.176399998],[-8874175.2541,5583075.027900003],[-8874155.9794,5583095.049000002]]]}],"geometryType":"esriGeometryPolygon"}
inSR 102100
outSR 102100
unionResults false
unit 9001

As mentioned: It only happens if the buffer is less than 106m...

Drew,

What version of ArcGIS Server are you on? I just tested your inputs with 10.11 and did not get that issue.

Sample using ESRI Service.. Should there be 2 rings?

Andrew,

I missed the geodesic part... I do get the same results. The question is do you need geodesic when the buffer is 100 meters?...

Rob,
I allow the user to change the buffer distance through a textbox.
I might just wrap some code around and see if the distance is < 106 m and deal with it from there.

Thanks for taking the time to look at it.

This appears to be fixed in ArcGIS Server 10.2.

This appears to be fixed in ArcGIS Server 10.2.

Thanks, I hope to have 10.2 installed in the next 3 weeks. I will give it a test.

Drew,

I can confirm that I see this fixed in 10.2.
