Parameter: buffer_distance_or_field

Data Type: GPLinearUnit
Display Name Distance [value or field]
Description: The distance around the input features that will be buffered. Distances can be provided as either a value representing a linear distance or a field from the input features that contains the distance to buffer each feature.If linear units are not specified or are entered as Unknown, the linear unit of the input features' spatial reference will be used.

Parameter: dissolve_option

Data Type: GPString
Display Name Dissolve Type
Description: Specifies the type of dissolve operation that will be performed to remove buffer overlap.No Dissolve—An individual buffer for each feature will be maintained, regardless of overlap. This is the default.Dissolve all output features into a single feature—All buffers will be dissolved together into a single feature, removing any overlap.Dissolve features using the listed fields' unique values or combination of values—Any buffers sharing attribute values in the listed fields (carried over from the input features) will be dissolved.
Direction: esriGPParameterDirectionInput
Default Value: No Dissolve
Parameter Type: esriGPParameterTypeOptional
Category:
Choice List: [ No Dissolve, Dissolve all output features into a single feature, Dissolve features using the listed fields' unique values or combination of values ]

Parameter: dissolve_field

Data Type: GPMultiValue:GPString
Display Name Dissolve Field(s)
Description: The list of fields from the input features on which the output buffers will be dissolved. Any buffers sharing attribute values in the listed fields (carried over from the input features) will be dissolved.
Direction: esriGPParameterDirectionInput
Default Value:
Parameter Type: esriGPParameterTypeOptional

Parameter: method

Data Type: GPString
Display Name Method
Description: Specifies whether the planar or geodesic method will be used to create the buffers.Planar—If the input features are in a projected coordinate system, Euclidean buffers will be created. If the input features are in a geographic coordinate system and the buffer distance is in linear units (meters, feet, and so forth, as opposed to angular units such as degrees), geodesic buffers will be created. This is the default.You can use the Output Coordinate System environment setting to specify the coordinate system to use. For example, if the input features are in a projected coordinate system, you can set the environment to a geographic coordinate system to create geodesic buffers.Geodesic (shape preserving)—All buffers will be created using a shape-preserving geodesic buffer method, regardless of the input coordinate system.
Direction: esriGPParameterDirectionInput
Default Value: Geodesic (shape preserving)
Parameter Type: esriGPParameterTypeOptional
Category:
Choice List: [ Geodesic (shape preserving), Planar ]

Parameter: max_deviation

Data Type: GPLinearUnit
Display Name Maximum Offset Deviation
Description: The maximum distance the resulting output buffer polygon boundary will deviate from the true buffer boundary.The true buffer boundary is a curve. However, the resulting polygon boundary is a densified polyline. Using this parameter, you can control how the output polygon boundary approximates the true buffer boundary.If this parameter is not set or is set to 0, the tool will identify the maximum deviation. It is recommended that you use the default value. Performance degradation (in the tool and in subsequent analyses) may result from using a maximum offset deviation that is too small.See the Maximum Offset Deviation parameter information in the Densify tool documentation for details.
