I have a set of line data that I wish to buffer for a client.
The requirements of their GIS system are such that the shapes must not be 2D reentrant, lack donut holes, and be OGC Simple + OGC 1.2 compliant.
I buffered the lines to .0003 ground units (coordinate system is in degrees)
Input feature qty is 9287.
The validator only passes 8175 of them.
Every failure reported from the listConcatenator is “Fails OGC Compliant,Fails OGC Simple”.
Is there something that I’m doing wrong?

Hi

Those errors can happen when the bufferer outputs a null geometry. Null outputs can happen when buffering lines by an amount which is orders of magnitude greater than the line length (especially if the lines are invalid to begin with). Try buffering by 1 with ground units of Meters. As a rule you shouldn’t buffer by degrees since you’ll get a different result depending where you are in the world (vertical and horizontal will vary).

Some new testing has happened using the suggestions made above. Dataset is 9307 lines total (database always changes). None of the geometries that fail are null.
So, seems like what I’m seeing is an exponential increase in the number of failures as the buffer size increases.

Can you see why they are failing “Fails OGC Compliant,Fails OGC Simple” ? Are you able to share any data here? thanks

Absolutely, it doesn’t show much in any of the concatenated lists. I’ve included the data before and after buffering.
