snowflake.snowpark.functions.st_buffer¶

snowflake.snowpark.functions.st_buffer(geometry_expression: Union[snowflake.snowpark.column.Column, str], distance: Union[snowflake.snowpark.column.Column, str]) → Column[source]¶

Returns a geometry that represents all points whose distance from the input geometry is less than or equal to the specified distance.

Parameters:

• geometry_expression (ColumnOrName) – The input geometry.

• distance (ColumnOrName) – The buffer distance.

Returns:

The buffered geometry.

Return type:

Column

Examples::

>>> from snowflake.snowpark.functions import col, to_geometry
>>> df = session.create_dataframe([["POINT(0 0)", 1.0]], schema=["geometry", "distance"])
>>> df.select(st_buffer(to_geometry(col("geometry")), col("distance")).alias("BUFFERED")).collect()
[Row(BUFFERED='{\n  "coordinates": [\n    [\n      [\n        [\n          1.000000000000000e+00,\n          0.000000000000000e...        1.000000000000000e+00,\n          0.000000000000000e+00\n        ]\n      ]\n    ]\n  ],\n  "type": "MultiPolygon"\n}')]
