LiveBuffer
Plugin ID: 6951
Draw a line on the map and see a live buffer preview; the result is saved as a polygon.
LiveBuffer adds a map tool for drawing a line directly on the canvas. While you move the mouse, a live preview of the buffer around the line is shown. The buffer distance (in metres) and an optional auto-select behaviour are controlled from the plugin toolbar. When you finish the line (right-click), the final buffer is calculated and stored as a polygon in a memory layer, or in the active layer if it is a suitable polygon layer.
