How to create a buffer with flat linecap?

[mickeyjohn]

Hi everyone,

Turf is a very nice geo lib. When using the .buffer function. It can create a nicely buffer polygon with a round linecap around the given polyline. My question is how to create a polyline with flat linecap with turf? Is there any way to achieve that?

Best Regards,
John

Hi @mickeyjohn

At the moment it's not possible with Turf. Using the jsts lib (on which Turf currently relies) I believe it's doable.

We do already have an item to support endcap strategies so Im going to close this in favour of that issue. We're currently trying to remove the dependency on jsts as it is a very large library but when we do we'll try and make sure we have those endcap options in place.

Cheers
