Proximity analysis (buffer, distance calculation) A common spatial analytic procedure is the calculation of features within a certain distance (often radius) of another feature set, as in "show the parcels within 100 metres of the selected highway". This process can be a direct query which results in the selected elements (or grid-cells) being highlighted in another colour, or it may involve several command to first define the proximity polygon and then to query its intersection with other features.
